This is probably normal just until it heals be careful about the shoes you wear! Also use Tattoo Goo or Black Cat Tattoo lotion. Vaseline will probably work as well! Good luck! And send me a pic when it heals!

There is fairly not anything you'll be able to do to make your tattoo heal 'quicker'. Treat it as a flesh wound... thats fairly what it's! The ONLY time your tattoo will have to be included is correct after it's performed- your tattoo artist will position a few variety of bandage over it. That bandage will also be taken off in a million-four hours. After that, you don't bandage it once more. Keep a skinny layer of A and D ointment or Bacitracin on it for a couple of days... DO NOT use a grease headquartered ointment like Vaseline!! NO Neosporin!! Just the A & D or Bacitracin. H2Ocean could also be a distinct after care lotion, made certainly in your medication tattoo. But NO bandages!!!! Dont rush this medication procedure. You can reduce to rubble your tattoo and it wont seem its nice. Just be sufferer!

Maybe since the skin on your foot moves differently than the skin on your chest and back that could account for the different healing style. Just keep it clean and moisturized (Lubriderm rocks!) and don't scratch it-- as you probably already know.

It should be fairley hard cause of where it is but not overly lumpy provided of course that you didn't get it sunburned.If it stays lumpy get it checked out you can't fix it down the track but if you get on to it early it can be corrected with out damage to the tattoo.Good luck with it. KMC
The best ointment I've found is Bepanthen same stuff they give to feeding mothers for their nipples

Yes, thats what mine did too. You really have to be careful about the shoes that you wear as the rubbing can make the healing time longer.

Sounds like the tattooist went too deap and put too much ink in your foot... And if it has red around it, it is infected.. I recomend lots of lotion and let it breath, DON'T COVER IT
