Ok, I am new here but reading thru other discussions, this is the one site I found where people actually seemed really knowledgeable. I have a tattoo I think is infected, and I really need some advice w it....

About a week ago, I did something very stupid.. I let a friend of mine put a small tattoo on me in his apartment. He used an actual gun, and tattoo ink. But the inks were in little pots that had been used before, not bottles. During the tattoo, he kept wiping it with a washcloth that I'm pretty sure wasn't even clean.. Before u judge, I will admit some drugs were involved and both of our judgement was pretty clouded... I regretted this before even getting home that night...

The first couple days it looked to be healing properly but about the 3rd day i noticed the redness wasn't going away. About day 5/6 when it finally started peeling I noticed a small amount of what looked like puss. I attached a pic of what it looks like now. It is very tender and hot to the touch... 

I need to know what I can do for this at home? Going to the doctor is out of the question because I don't have insurance and I recently moved here from out of state... i dont know what to do :// ive heard that peroxide and alcohol are huge DON'TS but what about maybe witch hazel?? I'm starting to freak out....

I won't even touch the issue of how this tattoo happened and no one in their right mind here will give you medical advice for what sounds to be an infected tattoo.

Unless properly treated, an infection can lead to death. This is no joke. Plain and simple, go to an ER or doctor. There are clinics that will provide care for people who have low income/no insurance - find one. Now.

      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.
