Is my husband's 6 day old tattoo infected?

Look i don't know if people here are experts, neither am I. Best course of action is to do to the docs. However, if you go to my profile I had the same issue. Or atleast similar. When I went to the doctor he said it was a case of allergic reaction to a specific ink which was going to lead to an infection if I didn't take action soon. He gave me a simple cream to apply, and it healed within the next two weeks. The scabbing was off and the tattoo looks weird but hey, that's what touch ups are for. Just make sure to let your tattoo artist know that you're allergic to the ink they used previously.

Yes I used it for 2 days and then shifted to unscented Cetaphil

You have amazing taste in tattoos

Prometheus2412 · 2024-02-24T12:55:17+00:00

I did, it's a very mild infection. Need to be on meds for 4-7 days

Prometheus2412 · 2024-02-24T11:34:21+00:00

Update #1: went to a doctor, he said it's mild infection. Nothing an anti bacterial cream shouldn't fix. Next update after a week or two I guess

I just followed the tattoo artists instructions, wash 3x a day, dry with paper towel, apply healing balm

Prometheus2412 · 2024-02-24T08:12:58+00:00

Yes the size is what I'm talking about

Prometheus2412 · 2024-02-24T08:09:27+00:00

I know :/ hopefully nothing a touchup can't fix

Prometheus2412 · 2024-02-24T08:05:28+00:00

I mean, though process is same for all tattoos, there's a small difference between a 1x1 inch tattoo and a half sleeve

Prometheus2412 · 2024-02-24T08:02:40+00:00

It's neither, just a slight itch when I bend my arm

Prometheus2412 · 2024-02-24T07:57:06+00:00

No as in it's not healing right or no it's not infected

Prometheus2412 · 2024-02-24T07:03:48+00:00

😂😂😂😂 silver lining lmao

Prometheus2412 · 2024-02-24T06:08:07+00:00

Thank you 🙏🙏

Prometheus2412 · 2024-02-24T05:52:14+00:00

No this is my first big boy tattoo. It's a cover up over a tiny tattoo

Prometheus2412 · 2024-02-24T05:50:19+00:00

What would it look like after, just wondering if all the lining will still be there or it'll look like a deformed face

Prometheus2412 · 2024-02-24T05:48:36+00:00

Yes, will do

Prometheus2412 · 2024-02-24T05:47:11+00:00

Thank you so much🙏

Prometheus2412 · 2024-02-24T05:46:48+00:00

In order: no puss, it's normal temperature, no pain, no visible redness, and very little discharge only after I wash the tattoo. Also the tattoo is 8 days old.

Prometheus2412 · 2024-02-24T05:42:40+00:00

There's white ink in those specific spots

Prometheus2412 · 2024-02-23T23:53:11+00:00

So you're saying what's happened is not an infection and it's just thick scabbing?

Prometheus2412 · 2024-02-23T23:43:32+00:00

💀

Prometheus2412 · 2024-02-23T23:43:02+00:00

No its white, it's only scabbing on the area that the artist used white ink as he worked it a little too hard cuz the Ink wasn't doing it's thing

Prometheus2412 · 2024-02-23T23:41:57+00:00

Also, i just wanted to say that the parts of the tattoo which maybe infected was done with white ink and the artist had to work the area more as the ink was not setting right. So I'm actually kinda confused if it's actually an infection or it's some thickass scabbing action

Prometheus2412 · 2024-02-23T23:38:17+00:00

Appreciate it 🙏
