I just got a tattoo and after about 4 weeks, it seems to be smearing. I started to work out again a few days ago, but I didn't notice it unit today. It seems to smear under the skin, is it due to my workout? Please help!

Ink migration in the early periods like this is due to the tattooing itself. It is very unlikely that using too much aftercare products affected it. You probably had the migration right from the beginning but didn't notice it while the rest of the tattoo was very vivid before the peeling and healing took place. Almost always, migration is caused by overworking the skin during the tattoo process.

It also could be doing something called halo. your body does it and i can't really explain it cuz i don't know the details. but i do know tattoos halo where the ink kind of separates a little from the rest of the tattoo and surrounds it like a halo.

Its called ink migration. Either your putting too much lotion/tattoo goo.. or w/e you use on your tat or it may be due to the artist's ability to tattoo.. he may have gone too deep.

many reasons..one being you got a crap tattooist.
maybe out in the sun..which will make the ink run..or being in clorine.
ask a different tatoo artist at a different shop to take a look.you might have got jipped.maybe they can cover it up.
i got lots of tats.....sun ruins tats,especially when theyre new.
good luck dude.

If your clothes are rubbing on it during your work outs, it can make it all run together. I suggest covering it with a bandage during work outs if it isn't too late already.

tattoos tend to change w/ ur body, so if you work out and wherever you worked out expands or gets smaller ur tattoo will do so accordingly
