Your tattoo isn’t infected, it’s from using to much ointment lotion which can clog pores thus making ur irritated skin more irritated leading into heavy pimple like breakouts. Use less ointment an keep it clean it will heal up in a week or so. 

 

I know this because this also happen to me, where I had heavy breakouts. First I thought I was allergic to the current ointment I use or the soap. But once I used less ointment like my tattoo artist recommended everything went back to normal.

      Want to get my first Old School tattoo.

      By Hogrider · Posted

      Who told you that they use thicker needles for old school tattoos?  I have all Japanese style tattoos and my artist uses the old style machine. They ALL vibrate. Sounds like you've been listening to a bunch of bullshit. Tattoos hurt. If you're afraid of pain, don't get one. Also, tattoos don't make you a tough guy. I know tough guys with no tattoos and I know pussies with tattoos. You're either a tough guy or you're not. It doesn't sound like you're cut out for tattoos, but if you really want one, find a GOOD shop and go talk to someone. Be honest about your concerns and see what they say.

      holy fuckin shit ! I don't think you should EVER get a tattoo ! get a piercing or henna maybe, or dye your hair, but please don't get a tattoo.

      Want to get my first Old School tattoo.

      By Mohawkedleatherguy · Posted

      For a number of years now I have been wanting to get my first tattoo, and then really in the traditional way, what is known as 'Old School'. The heavy work, with those thick black lines and areas, very graphic. So not those trendy colors or vague shades that you often see now. But just like sailors once used to have it done. That’s the way I really want to look like myself. So also with those simple really traditional, straightforward plain motifs like eagles or anchors or ships. I think that is incredibly cool. Every time I see a tough guy with such a tough Old School tattoo on his biceps, I am really jealous. As no one in my family is tattooed, I however certainly have to overcome a social threshold. But apart from that, there is the fear of that tattoo needle, of the moment it will touch my skin and stays on touching. And also of that buzzing sound, which reinforces that. I have been struggling with that for years. That fear has prevented me from getting my first tattoo so far. But now I really want to finally take the step to get my first tattoo. Only: it really has to be Old School. Now I understand that, because of the extra thick needles and old-fashioned vibrating machines that are used for it, it is a lot more intense than modern tattoos. Can one of the forum members tell me something about that? Is it true that Old School is more painful, or is that not so bad? Because I would really like to get an Old School tattoo, but at the same time I really dread that thick tattoo needle.
