I got a tatt 4 days ago. This is not my first, however it is my first using clear plastic wrap to cover the area. My arm as turned a dull yellow and yet there is no color other than black. Could the yellow be from the plastic wrap holding the A&D in. Thank you
strange color

Yes the yellow could be discoloration from the coloring addade to the A&D ointment!
After the first few hours if you keep using plastic wrap I would not put any oitment on the tattoo. The body secretes some pretty good healing juices under the wrap and any other gunk in there is not likely to do great things. We suggest either wrapping with plastic or using very little healing thing (like A&D or a more natural type thing like goo or black cat). either way, keep it clean. and consult the artist who tattooed you, they know how thier tattoos heal best on your type of skin (or should).
