Tattoo Healing Process Pictures
Is my tattoo blowing out?
I got my first tattoo on Sunday at a highly recommended tattoo shop. I of course looked at all of the artist portfolios and everyone had a lot of experience and skill. I got the tattoo on my leg about five inches above my leg. I have been applying a gentle scent free lotion at least 4 times a day as instructed and of course keeping it out of hot water and sunlight.
Well I’ve noticed that the ink looks like it’s bleeding out. I have been told varying things, that it could be a blow out or it could just be the healing process.
Here is a picture of my tattoo. The top is roughly 24 hours after I got the tattoo and the bottom was taken about 3 days after I initially got the tattoo. I’ve circled the area I am concerned about.
Its fine. Its scabbing right now, and also ink is expected to come out because when you sleep it sticks to your sheets. If you went to a really good tattoo shop they will touch up any color that didn’t stay in for free, but you have to do in a few months or so for them do it free. Just call your artsit and ask about it. But be careful when you sleep or what you rub up against and DO NOT scratch at it.
Oh yeah, and the scabbing comes off in colors too. So don’t be alarmed by that either. Just wait til its finished healing before you get concerned about it. Mine usually only take a week to heal, some people take longer.
Beautiful tattoos and Art
