i think my tattoo is infeceted

i got my tattoo last friday and it is very red around it and it hurts. so i am not sure what to do. i have still been washing it and putting lotion on it, but it seems like it is not working. so what sould i do now?

The very first thing to do is to goe see your tattoo artist...see what he says and take his/her advice...without seeing your tattoo we can really tell you nothing...can you e -mail a pic? If so ...mail to [email removed]...I will take a look for ya!!...sorry I couldn't be more help!...TAz
