Better to lose a little ink than a little limb.  You can always have the tattoo touched up again if there's any fading ... 

Even with scaring? 

I do have a infection on my leg.  Doctor gave me a oral antibiotic and a topical antibiotic called Bactroban. My question is has anyone used this cream? I dont want to loose ink, I have seen somethings that say it will be OK but looking for more advice

Yeah, just let is heal. It may be a couple of weeks before it settles down. Try to relax. 

What about the swelling, my foot and ankle are like a balloon today

I showed him Saturday cause I had some fluid that I was worried about, he asked how much lotion I was using and I told him I was using alot. He told me to stop using the lotion and let it dry and do its thing. I does feel better and alot of scabs fell of yesterday.

So 2 weeks ago today I got a storm trooper on my calf. I have scabbing but its also cracking and it almost looks bloody, my artist told me I was using to much lotion and to stop using it and let it do its thing. I dont think its infected but Im kind of freaked out its not healing properly. Any advise?
