    roroarro got a reaction from silentspring in Hello Everybody. Need some help unfortunately...   
    Oh my... Considering that the black portion of tattoo is perfect, it looks like a fierce allergic reaction to red ink.
    I have found this:
    "Cinnabar (mercuric sulfide) used in red tattoo inks can lead to allergic reactions and scarring. Tsuruta et al. reported a case of a 40-year-old Japanese man with a red tattoo who developed a whole-body rash after eating 250 g of raw swordfish and alfonsino.19 In this case the mercuric tattoo pigments caused the initial sensitization to mercury in the patient, producing a delayed hypersensitivity reaction."
    Did you visit a doctor???
    I had a contact dermatitis. After aprox 7 days, but it doesn't look like that.
    Still it could have been triggered by black ink.

    It was itchy. After 4 days of "Betametasona Loratadina" and antistaminics, it started to fade.
    All this allergic matter is really underestimated.
    If I’ll go trough other tattoo sessions I’ll surely ask for an ink patch test.

    roroarro got a reaction from SeeSea in Contact Dermatitis   
    Dear all.
    On saturday I had my second tattoo session, the first of two to complete the black background.
    This time, following my dermatologist's prescription, I start ingesting a cortisone based medicine 3 days before the tattoo session. I will follow up with this drug for 4 days after the session.
    It's curing quite well... The only reddish and itchy area is not where the ink is, but around the tattoo artist (latex) grip on my arm.
    I'll keep you updated. I guess that this experience could be usefull to whom experimented contact dermatitis before (as I did).
    Regards
