Yes. Artist says allergic reaction to something in the ink. Dermatologist agrees.

Coconut oil is no miracle of any kind. Its a moisturizer, anti bacterial, non pore clogger.

did you use the same healing method for your first tattoo?

First one I used glyrecin (neutral) soap and Dermaglos A&D. Now i replaced the dermaglos for Coconut Oil which was recommended to me by several artists.

dude bummed for ya cause that last pic taken after your session looks great

hang in there

Thanks. Cant beleive this crap.

Well, it happens. Will keep on researching.

People, do not get a tattoo without a color test.

I have taken very good care of my foot tattoo. I have had other tattoos and none of them scabbed over like this one. I am now on week 3 of healing and the really thick scabs are coming off but I am very concerned about the look after they come off. I know that the color will look faded but this seems a bit extreme to me. Please help! Should it darken up some more over time or is it totally messed up? I followed my after care instructions and I have never had healing issues like this before.

My first tattoo took 4 weeks to heal, and looks great. If you took good care of it and its not infected, there is nothing to worry about i think.

Its strange because it doesn't itch or hurt and there is nothing going on outside the tattoo.

Thanks for the comments. I will keep searching for the answer, although I have scoured over the Internet and haven't found anything similar.

Welcome, are those your designs? Or customer's?

Wish I could have though about doing a timelapse of the tattoo. Great idea! Will do so on the next one.

Hello people.

This is my second tattoo.

You can see both of them at the last picture which is when the second tattoo was finished.

Unfortunately, the first pics are of the tattoo 6-7 days later, from which it looks like I got an allergic reaction.

I have been trying to search over the internet for related images but wasnt able to find something similar.

It says a lot about reactions to red ink, which obviously its almost the whole flower, but i cant find images portraying the same issue.

Does anyone know what it is?

It doesnt itch, it is not swollen, it is not red around it, it does not hurt.

I have cared it for with glycerine soap during showers and coconut oil as moisturizer.

Thanks in advance for any help.
