So I just got a tattoo on the top of my foot Sunday Sept 27th. Well on Monday it turned real red and my entire foot is swollen. My foot is clean and I have been applying a thin layer or A & D a few times today. Its really sore. Is this notmal or could it be infected? If infected what do I do? And I forgot to mention I have the skinniest & veiniest feet ever so I'm sure that doesn't help. The veins on my feet pop out. HELP! Not sure what to do

If you're foot continues to swell and stay red, I'd go to your artist or a doctor. It's impossible for us to diagnose anything as we're not doctors and we're just talking to you over the internet. If you're concerned seek professional help. It could just be regular healing, or it could be an infection. Better safe than sorry though!
