I got my tattoo done Thursday night, so it's been about three days now. I know that's when the peeling and scabbing supposed to happen right? Is that what the bumps on my tattoo are? (Picture below.)
And also, it the reason it keeps swelling up is because it's on my foot? I've barely gone anywhere today but by the end of the night it kills me, yet this morning there was almost no swelling.
I also have to go back to work on Tuesday, how should I care for it? Just a clean sock? I work eight hours but I can try to do very minimal walking, I just have to stand on it for eight hours.
My tattoo artist told me to leave it absolutely dry but I've heard from my friends and websites that A&D is needed to keep it moisturized, so anytime it seems to dry I'll put a little on. Is it common that that causes a little bit of the ink to bleed (you can see in the picture).
Please help, I'm just a nervous wreck being it's my first tattoo.
