I don't mean to be gross, but here goes: My new tattoo (48 hours old) on the top of my foot is oozing slightly (not alot at all) in one or two places. Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong? I've been following the artists instructions for after-care, but he didn't have me using any antibacterial ointment afterwards. I've been gently washing the tatto with luke-warm water about 3x a day and putting scent-free, petrolium jelly-free lotion on it afterwards. Yesterday, I had to wear boots and socks for about 2.5 hours, so maybe its' irritated 'cuz of that... The area surrounding the tatto isn't swollen or inflamed, but feels sortof stiff and hurts a little bit when I walk. Also, I've been wearing open-top shoes for the past two days to avoid fading. Sorry for all of the detail. I want to make sure you have enough info to help me out.
