I am in the process of half sleeving my arm and last night he did alot of work to it. Most shading in. I have quite a few tatto's and none have had this problem, maybe because none are this big. Well My arm is so very sore I can barely strighten it and there are these little bliater looking things all over the tattoo. They look like blisters at least. And they hurt to touch. Have you ever heard of anything like this? Im guessing its because I was really bleeding and its a big piece, I really dont know. Any advice?? Thank you so much

I can never say this enough...NEVER USE PETROLEUM BASE PRODUCTS ON A BRAND NEW TATTOO!!! i.e.neosporin;vaseline; A&D;etc. You want to use tattoo goo. You can get it at your tattoo shop or on their site. Whatever you do, don't pick at it. Touch it as little as possible with barehands.
Hope this helps and good luck!

The tattoo fades dramatically in approximately a 12 months or so, and the therapy approach may be very elaborate seeing that you're regularly consuming. You could also be equipped to inform what it's, however for probably the most aspect... These are trashy tattoos even if they're contemporary.

What colors were used? Some people have allergic reactions to red ink ("red rage") or other colors, though red is the most common. Scabs won't kill you, but they may cause you to lose ink and you'd need to come in for a touch-up later on. A lot of people have problems with petrolium-based creams... A&D (vitamin) ointment has worked for me.
Have you worked with this artist before? Was he heavy-handed this time around? Heavy-handed artists can end up leaving you scarred, which makes it harder to work with (touch-up or coverup) and make laser removal harder.
My advice: Keep it clean, try to keep it moist, and see your artist and/or doctor to see what they have to say.
For the record, a "keloid" is a specific type of scar. Usually, people end up with hypertrophic scarring and use the term "keloid" because that's what they've heard... a hypertrophic scar tends to be a bump, whereas a keloid ends up being much like a tumor, going beyond the size of the piercing/injury. Keloids are more common on darker-skinned people, which is why scarification works so well on them.

Well, I would keep lots of cream on it so that it doen't scab up. The artist probably penetrated your skin too deep witht the needle. It sounds awful and I feel so bad for you. Your arm is probably just really bruised. Just take it easy, ice your arm as much as possible and DONT let those blisters scab up no matter what you do, otherwise your tat will be ruined!
Good luck and I hope that you feel better soon!
Oh, and I wouldn't use that artist again...

the bumps soung like keloids (not sure on spelling)
they don't go away, if you never got them before then they definately went too deep. but it sounds like they did go too deep

You have a serious infection and should so go to the hospital and get a check up. No more of these tattoos for you.
