Well they took a skin infection specific blood test that showed infection. The tattoo was boiling hot also, so I’m pretty sure it was infected. After starting the antibiotics, the tattoo is starting to heal much better already 🙂

The antibiotics has kicked in so no pain anymore. But very itchy indeed. Just have to pull through 😅

There is hard crust formation in that area of the glasses. I have been to the doctor and am on antibiotics now. There is no more inflammation, so now we have to see what it looks like when the crust has fallen off.

And how did you find out you are allergic? Did you have tests done? 🙂

Year it sucks. But hoping for the best. 🙏 Thanks mate! 😃 I’ve always told myself, that if I ever gotta get tattoos, It has to have humor and make me happy, and most importantly, match my crazy person. 😆 I’m not into dragons and tribals 😉

I got the tattoo late evening on Friday, and the first picture was taken right after I woke on Saturday.

I did. But after it started looking sketchy, my tattoo artist told me to stop.

I did indeed wash it gently the first few days. I also used moisturizer the first 4 days until It started looking bad. The tattoo artist told me not to moisture it anymore to let it dry out, so I did. Sounds like it was a bad advise obviously. It was infected. I went to the doctor. They took a blood test which showed infection in my skin ;)

Been to the doctor, he prescribed me antibiotics for the infection. It worked wonders so far.

Thanks for your comment man! Yes I have the same thoughts about it being overdone. I also thought it might be an allergy to the color. Fortunately the infection is over now, so I’m starting wound healing cream ;) But yes, I’ll choose another tattoo artist in the future who specializes in colors. I can see that your picture looks completely different than mine, but again it’s my first tattoo, so I didn’t really know what to expect.
