    inkedprincess14 got a reaction from oboogie in Tattoo Blow Out Advice (I’m a newbie, go easy on me;))   
    I knew that would be the response immediately after I posted the photo, as there is a fair amount of redness... theres far more photos that suggest otherwise in different cases. 
    I cant necessarily say I’m as dismissive of the laser working. There is A LOT of stuff that is suggesting otherwise. I feel no matter what I put on this thread in regards to lasering, your guys minds are made up in regards to that topic and thats completely fine. 
     
    but as I keep saying, I’m also exploring covering with another tattoo or more tattoos around it. Ive already got a tattoo plan. 
     
    I appreciate the opinions and advice regardless, as stated previously, I am hoping to update with my proper outcome in several months. 
     
    Chances are I will just have more tattoos because can I be arsed to even try a laser with the cost of it? Possibly not.

    Found this which was quite reassuring, an instance where a laser has successfully helped. 
     
    Also this was fairly informative. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/47728232_Blue_Foot_A_Second_Case_of_Tattoo_Blow-out_Pigment_Spread_Successfully_Treated_With_the_QS-NdYAG_Laser
     
    Ive found things saying it will help, things saying it wont. Truly there is only one way to find out
    like I said, ill just have it tattooed by someone else if not. Its still nothing I dont feel can be resolved one way or another. 
     
    oh no;) an excuse for more tattoos
     
    id like to keep this updated though as maybe someone else will have the same problem as me and be desperately looking for answers. 
     
    ill keep everyone posted with what works and what doesnt.

    Bruising can look like that, but usually that's long gone by a month later. Nevertheless I agree you should wait and see what happens with it. If it is still just bruised then it'll go away all by itself.

    You can’t “fix” a blowout. You can’t, you can’t, you can’t. A blowout is ink that has spread under your skin. You can’t vacuum it out. How exactly does she say she’s going to fix it?
    blowouts happen, especially on thin skin, like your inner bicep.
    Your smart to wait. I’ve seen people go from bad to worse to even worse trying to fix something.

    Hi there!
    This is a step further than a blowout, called ink migration. It has possibly spread far into some fat cells. As with a blowout, it can happen more frequently in thin skinned areas. The risk is also increased when on any kind of blood thinner before the tattoo.
    It’s not something that can be easily fixed, unless you get colour added especially over the blurry halo area, I’d only think getting watercolor style colouring would work with this design but it’s not for everyone.
    I’ve seen some success from laser removal, just in the halo area (they don’t need to touch the tattoo!) but besides these options I’m not sure how your artist will fix this.
    It’s unfortunate, and there are many reasons why it could have happened, the main would be needle depth versus skin thickness so hopefully your artist can learn from this.
    good luck!
