Yes. Just keep the sunscreen on it and it covered like they told you to and everything should be fine.

Yup. Remember a tattoo is a cut in your skin that you want to heal without scabbing. The redness will go away soon. Be patient and follow a good cleaning regiment. Wash it with Dial anti-bacterial soap and dab it dry. Then apply a light coat of A&D ointment. Do this for a week or so. After that you can switch to an unscented lotion like Luberderm or Curel. As far as someone mentioned before about a tattoo raising up after a few years, that is scar tissue caused by overworking the skin with the tattoo machine, and is not a good thing.

shop washing your tattoo. Please. proceed making use of the cleansing soap, gently pat dry with a sparkling paper towel, and end making use of the A&D after washing for yet another day or so. Then change over to Lubriderm or the equivalent. that's in all probability annoyed simply by those being some THICK strains. The thicker the strains, heavier palms, and a great number of coloring can worsen your epidermis to the portion of swelling, discomfort, and heat temperature. not something you're asserting or showing looks out of the traditional. make certain you're letting your ink breathe and don't be afraid to call the artist with questions or concerns. they're those you like to maintain interior the loop could you pick for you desire a sprint up whilst all is declared and executed.

It can be as most people have a different reaction to tattoos. Mine is 3 years old and it still raises up every now and again. I would just make sure that you are keeping something on it like aquafor or tattoo goo just to make sure that it isn't drying out. You could always go back to the tattoo place and have the person check it out. They are pros.

Yes, it's swollen and will go down soon. After the first and second day, do not apply as much cream to it as you did before. To heal, the tattoo has to breath so it will be fine.

Right after the tattoo yes but if it doesn't start to go away or it spreads go see a Dr... that happened to me and it spread because it was infected.

yes, it is....you want to be sure to keep it clean with running water and a dab of soap..DO NOT RUB IT.....keep some tattoo goo on it...you might also try a thin layer of triple antibiotic ointment.....follow goo and ointment instructions as listed on their containers.....and dont mess with it...let it heal

Yeah it's normal, just keep lotion on it, it'll help moisturize your skin and the redness will go away.

Yeah it's normal. Don't freak out when it starts scabbing over either.
