I’ve been experiencing scabbing and redness a week after getting this tattoo and I’m wondering if it it could possibly be infected. I got the tattoo on vacation so contacting and visiting the artist will be a bit tricky. A little info; I wash the tattoo three times a day, place a tiny amount of ointment on during the morning and afternoon and use a small amount of coconut oil at night as it’s the only thing that has stopped me from sticking to my sheets. Most areas seem to be healing fine but I’m a bit red around the green area and the magenta / red areas at the top. Also, the green is still bleeding/leaking and appears to be white underneath? Amy help or pointers will be appreciated.
