stomach/hip tattoos

2 messages · last activity 3/24/2008

i wtch you guys on here and you have some good advice, my question is i have never had a stomach tattoo before and it is right in front of my hip. it has been 5 days and mayb i am being paranoid here but the two on my back did not heal this way. it is 3 colors green,purple, and pink, but it is still red/pink around th outside edges and i am worried an infection may occur. is this just due to it being in an easily irritated spot? or is something wrong. i have followed my aftercare instructions and my tattoos on my back are both color and black and color so i don't think it is reacction to the ink but i am no expert so was hoping for some feed back. Thanks
sounds like irration to me i suggest wearing loose clothing over area for a while if tight clothes are to be worn get a paper towel cover area of tattoo that should cut down irratation. keep clean and care as your artist recomends good luck.
