I have quite a few atas so i'm pretty sure i have an infection. I've already been to the doc, gotten meds, and have had a culture just in case.My question is i have some pits in the tats. Most of both tats are healing perfectly but there are some pits outside of the infected part as well as in it. Could this also be overworking? the pnguins were supposed to be a half arm but now i'm allittle afraid to continue.

Infected and overworked?

Looks overworked a bit. It doesn't look like you're picking at it or anything so thats good. Honestly it doesn't look too bad, I've seen WAY worse. Not saying its good for that to happen, but with some touch up I'm sure you'll be good.
Just don't pick, or irritate it anymore than it already is, see how it heals and go from there!
Thanks! I was pretty sure it was overworked a little bit but since i haven't had it happen before now I wanted to check.I'm not picking at it and the redness is going away in the overdone areas. I'll be waiting a few weeks and then begin finishing off the other side of the arm. It's healing up pretty nicely.
