Ok, I got a tattoo of my son's footprints on the top and side of my foot 16 days ago. Well, I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but the one on the side is red all around it with some raw spots. My tattoo artist told me because I had put on a sock less than a week after my tat and it had actually stuck in a few places that I have ripped some of the skin off. Causing the rawness. And the fact that I walk a lot during the day that the constant motion on the side of my foot is opening the tattoo up repeatedly and that it would probably take another week or two to heal. I've used an aloe lotion to try and help it heal. My tattoo is a 3 part tattoo.... one on the ankle, one on the top of my foot, and one on the outside side of my foot below my ankle bone. The one on the side is still swelling and red, tender. The skin over it is almost like when you get burned. All one piece that's very thin, and only peeling on the edges. What can I do for it to heal soon? I start a new job in a few days
