please see a doctor. that doesn't sound right at all.
I used vitamin e oil for healing my tattoos.
The ankle seemed to hurt more than other locations for me, and it was swollen, but not as you describe - - it really sounds like something is wrong.
You may be allergic to the ink used.
You could have an infection.
PLEASE get it checked out.

Tattooing is on no account a present day train. Tattoo-bearing Egyptian and Libyan mummies had been observed that date again 1000s of years earlier than the time of Christ. Tattooed mummies have additionally been observed in South America. Many of the tattooed photographs have been instantly concerning the worship of pagan gods. According to researcher Steve Gilbert, “the earliest identified tattoo that's a snapshot of whatever, as a substitute than an summary sample, represents the god Bes. In Egyptian mythology Bes is the lascivious god of revelry.” The Mosaic Law forbade God’s folks to tattoo themselves. Said Leviticus 19:28: “You need to no longer make cuts for your flesh for a deceased soul, and also you need to no longer positioned tattoo marking upon yourselves. I am Jehovah.” Pagan worshipers, such because the Egyptians, tattooed the names or symbols in their deities on their breast or hands. By complying with Jehovah’s ban on tattoo markings, the Israelites might stand out as distinctive from different countries. While Christians at present aren't beneath the Law of Moses, the prohibition it laid on tattooing is sobering. (Ephesians two:15) If you're a Christian, you might without doubt no longer desire to make markings to your frame, even briefly, that smack of paganism or fake worship.

sorry Madi, but your tattoo artist should not be practicing... this guy is a total jack *** if he told you to use babyoil... or vasoline for that matter.
use A&D ointment... aka: baby butt cream.. you will find it in the infants section.
clean you wound gently but well, and apply the a&d
it is normal for it to hurt and even reden a bit in such a delicate spot, but keep it clean and elevated. if it gets worse see a doctore.....
actually since your artist is that stupid he may have used dirty needles and bad inks too.... PLEASE don't ever go to that shop again!!!!!!!!!!!!
good luck

Your tatoo artist is a moron. You do NOT put baby oil on it. Or vaseline. A & D ointment is the best. Since your tattoo sounds like it's infected, I would get some anibiotic cream on it asap before your tattoo gets ruined. Don't go back to that idiot. See your doctor.

maybe you are allergic to the ink. you should see a doctor. I don't know if putting baby-oil will help. try something with vitamins in it. But I really still think you should see a doctor about this. Good luck!!

see your doc. what you described doesn't sound good. also quit with the baby oil. use A&D or tat wax... you either have an infection, are allergic to the ink, or allergic to the baby oil. Either way, go see your doc.
