I’m not sure I’m posting this in the right place seeing as I’ve never used this website before so I apologize in advance. I got my first tattoo on my forearm 8 days ago, I used bepanthene for 4 days, when it started pealing I switched to a fragrance free lotion. I just want to make sure it’s healing well because it’s my first tattoo so I’m fixating on every detail because I’m nervous. I think I see some minor blowout near the leaves and I guess I’m just worried it might get worse. I’d appreciate any opinion and advice please! Thank you.

You won't know what it's going to look like for 4-6 weeks. Also, thin lines on delicate skin are prone to blowout. There's no such thing as a perfect tattoo; if you look hard enough you'll find something wrong with every tattoo. Put away the magnifying glass and enjoy your tattoo.

alright, thank you so much.

      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.
