OK, my buddy put a tattoo on my lower back. We took all the precautions. We boiled the safety pins, and used new leather gloves from the hardware store. It is a sweet tribal design that I found in a dumpster behind a tattoo shop. It was already on the stencil paper and everything, and only a little dirty. Anyhow, we made the tattoo machine out of some old walkman parts and did the tat. We only had a 12 pack before we started each, so we were just buzzing. Now that the tattoo is done I am following my aftercare instructions very close. I am keeping Crisco on it and making sure to cover it with old shop rags and duct tape. I make sure to expose it to sun for at least 6 hours a day. The problem is when I take the rags off; chunks of flesh come off with it. The area around it is a weird green color, and it kind of smell like cheddar cheese. Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong. Or is my skin just rejecting the ink?
Serious answers only please.
