Hi - I recently got a tattoo on Monday.. and while I know being swollen is normal ( i have 3 other tattoos) but ive never seen the tattoo like this.. 3 days later the tattoo itself is peeling hard scabs and underneath is bloody and raw.. the ink somehwat has disapeared. it's weeping yellowish fluids - sometimes had blisters.. now it's very scabby like. everytime i apply A & D ointment- my tattoo seems to get slimy (and i only put very little on it)
Questions:
is it infected?
will I lose the blue ink now that it's red and raw?
below ive attached a below and after pix..

send me a pick via e mail [email removed] i tried the addy no luck but im not that good on puters sounds like a mold infection has occured and area was over worked but send me some pics so i can give you a definite answer thanks don
All I can say is...wow. I would say with almost 90% certainty this tattoo you have in infected-notice the redness around the tattoo???
Go see an md- feet toos are nothing to play with if they become infected. Good luck!
ok i got a look at it truth be told ive seen worse. keep foot elevated as much as possibile when walking around wear a LOOSE FITTING sock wash 2 to 3 times a day.let this sucker dry heal. try not to pic at it. if it gets real bothersome during dry heal process very little like the size of a bb apply ointment.notice if you are allergic to penicillin then use plane ol vaseline very thin like chapstic.it has been over saturated and feet tattoos SUCK! keep it clean let it heal for at least 6 months then decide if you want to get a redo on it.the color may or may not stay.best of luck
