okay i got a tattoo of a heart with black lining and red inside and its by my hip. i have had it for a little over 2 months now and the artist gave me a paper on what and what not to do to my tattoo and i followed them! well it didnt get better within the first month so i went to a different tattoo place(diversity) and he told me to do different things like spray bactine on it and wash it 3 times a day so i did and ever since i got my tatt it is swoolen, pussing, bleeding, burns and it itches but i dont scratch it. and i know he used clean needles and ink because i watched him take the stuff out of the unopened package. what could this be? am i allergic? anyone know?
my tatt is infected

GET TO THE DOC! if its leaking puss and bleeding after this long you need to see a doc. this could ba a allergic reaction to the ink diet meds lint bunny got in it or a various factor of things! sounds like ya need antibiotics to get it taken care of.quite possibile a allergic reaction to ink.but seek medical attettion now. don

i wouldn't say it the tattoo artists fault, but then again i don't know the artist and how well he knows what he's doing..
healing on the hip is always difficult because your pants rub over it, and could rub fibers and dirt in it and will easily get infected, best wear loose clothing during the healing process..
but that's too late now, yeah better go see you doc...
you wont die, but it will heal up scarred and ugly (most likely)..
Without seeing the tattoo its impossible to really give you an opinion....however it COULD be a reaction to the pigment (red syndrome) or bad needles...no you don't KNOW they were sterile just because ya saw him take them out of a bag!!...or it could be an infection that you contracted AFTER the tattoo was done by contact
with the millions of contaminants we come into contact with every day....see a doctor FIRST!!! preferably a dermatologist ( skin doctor)...could be a simple infection that can be controlled by oral antibiotics....good luck kiddo!!
