First contact the tattoo shop where you had it done and tell them what happened.If you have taken care of it very well, maybe it's a certain color that doesn't go with your blood. If they can't give you the right advise, see you doctor to get something to get rid of it. Keep cleaning it though.

This could mean a lot of different things. For one you could be allergic to the ink...Another thing is well skin infection.....To be honest with you there are a lot of places that are not sanitary these days..the equipment could be filthy...bacteria plays a major role in infection....I think you should monitor it for some time. Keep the area clean and moisturized. I also think you should try some allergy medicine. Benadryll for the inside and the cream for the outside. Don't overdo it though. If you are taking other medications then you should consult with a physician. If the problem still persists you should see a doctor.

I badly sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago. I was in a hurry going down the stairs, lost my balance and landed on a bad side of my left foot, causing my left ankle to be stretched going on the inside. The first 48 hours were excruciating and the pain was un-believable. I've never had a serious ankle injury before.
So I immediately treated it using the RICE method. The following day, the bruising and swelling were so horrible. I found out that I got a second degree sprain and immediately panicked after that. I had a football game on that week and it been looking forward to it because I've been training for rt. I had teammates that had similar injuries and it took them months to fully recover, some of them stopped playing altogether. So I kinda had a short-term depression because I can't imagine myself not being able to run and play sports anymore.
Because I was so desperate to recover again, I contacted a lot of people that I know who do sports and asked them if they had similar injuries. One friend of mine, from the boy's football team in my university, told me about H.E.M. Ankle Rehab. I got a copy 4 days after I got injured. I immediately read and followed what was instructed and felt improvement on the first day. I was able to walk a bit, but I was in pain.
A couple of days after that, the swelling and bruising were subsid-ing significantly and on the fourth day, I was walking comfortably again. Although I've had felt a bit of stiffness, I continued doing what was instructed. My sister was surprised that I have recovered this fast. I told her about this book and was shocked on how effective the procedures were. I'm just so happy that this book was shared to me and how effective it is.
Heal your ankle fully & fast?

I honestly can't understand why people do this but that is another issue.
If you are having pus problems, you don't need to be here. You need to be in a Doctors office. Uncontrolled infection has required amputation of limbs and even death. You don't sound that bad but if this stuff is spreading you need attention right now.

Sounds like a rather nasty infection. Go to your doctor to get antibiotics before it gets worse, or serious. They could have used a dirty needle and the bacteria got into your blood. Are there red streaks? That indicates a blood infection and you should see your doctor ASAP.

maybe they have used a different type of ink this time that doesnt agree with you..it def sounds like an allergy...either go to he doctor or go back to the tattoo studio first to ask about what the ink contains so you can pinpoint exactly what is causing the allergy

For the itching just put on lotion. Just make sure that it isn't scented, that could make it itch more or even burn. For the pussing go to the doctor if it doesn't go down. It could be as simple as your body is naturally trying to get the ink out of your system or it could be more serious.

you may be allergic to the ink.. mine swells when i get hot.. if its been done in the last week or so its healing.. apply savlon cream or anticeptic.. see a doctor if it last more than 2 weeks as the body needs time to heal

rub a small amount of tea tree oil onto it. it really helps to clear up all sorts of things from rashes and sores to the common zit.
