Hi all! I am now 30 years old and got my first tattoo on my 18th b-day and it has been an addiction every since. With my first tattoos I went with a local artist (the ONLY artist in my area) actually he did my first 3 at the time i though he was awesome then I met my current artist and he is AMAZING! He has done my last 4 and we are currently working on my cover up. I am having a hard time deciding though so I figured I would turn to you for help. He will be covering up one of my old tattoos (its about 8 years old) but it is big and on my forearm. I am attaching a picture of the tattoo in it current state (it has faded BAD) any advice would be great. I am in love with American Traditional and would like to go with that but dont know if it can be done. The biggest problem we are having right now is I moved out of state where my artist is and he will be in Chicago for a convention and that is where we will be doing the cover up So i really need your help! Thanks!

      big Problem after tattooing.

      By Hogrider · Posted

      First let me say I've never seen exactly that related to tattoos. Second, I am NOT a doctor, so take any advice with a grain of salt and follow it at your own risk. I do have something like that which appears on my face from time to time. After multiple visits to the dermatologist, which didn't fix it, I finally came up with my own treatment. Whenever it flairs up, I just wipe the area down with plain rubbing alcohol three or four times a day to keep it dry. That usually works within a couple of days. Again, I'm not a doctor, but I don't think it would hurt anything for you to try that. Good Luck.

      big Problem after tattooing.

      By zomno · Posted

      Hey, I have a serious problem! I got a tattoo in Manila 4 weeks ago. The artist is very well known and is one of the most renowed. 2 day after tattooing, small pimples began to form on my thight an many at the tattoo. 3 days later i had fever at night (just at night). After that, the pimpels began to spread very quickly all over the body. (back stomach etc..) I have now been to 3 doctors and everyone is at a loss. The blood work is fine and with no anomalies. Antibiotic ointment and cortisone ointment did not help. Xyzall allergy tablets did not help either. When i took cortisone tablets, 90% of the pimpels disappeared on the tattoo, but not on the other parts of the body. Now that I´am no longer taking cortisone, the pimpels on the tattoo are starting to grow back again very quick. On the other parts of the skin , the pimpels are sometimes lighter and sometimes stronger. This can be change hourly. They don´t hurt and hardy lever itch. Of course I´am afraid of a tattoo allergie. Has anyone already had this problem ? Does anyone know what that could be ? I add photos: 1) Photo directly after tattooing. 2) 2 Photos with the pimpels after a week 3) After 3 weeks while taking cortisone. 4) Photo of the body on the left.
