Answer 1

I'm certainly no expert, but mine all bled after I had them, I bruised quite a bit as well on the more sensitive area. As for colour leaking, I don't remember any, but wouldn't be too concerned if it's minimal. Sure someone will know more for you, but don't get too stressed. Pop back if worried, they'll know more.

Answer 2

So when did you actually get this tattoo done? Yes a tattoo does bleed a little when you have just had it done, but this doesn't last very long. You shouldn't put any creams on it at all. You should have just left it to dry out until it heals. You know when it is starting to heal, because it forms a scab over the top & becomes itchy. Having a bath or shower helps the healing progress quicker. As far as the colour coming off !that should definetly not have happend. Even when you rub it the ink shouldnt even smudge nevermind come onto your hand. Where did you get it done? A 3 year old in a nursery. I suggest you go back to the place where you got it & complain. Sounds like a cowboy tattoist if you ask me.

As far as

Answer 3

Get back to your tattoo artist and yes with you bleeding it shows your healthy and there was nothing wrong with the tat although you shouldn't have put anything on it until you know it felt a bit dry then you should have washed it dabbed it dry then moisturised it LIGHTLY with Vaseline cream the colour that's coming of is because you are loosing the tattoo how big is the tat and what colours are they on it and location? you should never but ointment on a tattoo, all a tattoo is, is a scar and if you think about it when you get a scar and put ointment on it it will fade and gradually disappear you should go back to your tattooist who did it and show him/her it and let them have a look and they will advise you from there... good luck hope all turns out well :)

All of my tattoos have bled after I got them (except for the ones that were pretty small). The ink will come off slightly and it's supposed to do that. The scabs will also be the same color as the ink, which is also supposed to happen. The tattoo will not be as bright as it was originally. Everything that's happening is normal. My tattoos have burned somewhat after getting them. If you feel as though the pain is excruciating, then I would contact the tattoo artists that did the tattoo and talk to them. Other than that, these symptoms don't really seem any different from any of mine. :)

Answer 5

First it is okay that its bleeding as long as it's not a tremendous amount. You also shouldn't be putting lotion on it yet. You shouldn't do that until the tatoo begins to get a scab over it. The a and d ointment may give it the appearance that it is fading but it really isn't. Make sure you are washing it to keep it from getting it infected. Hope I helped you

Answer 6

chill out, and as your tattoo artist no doubt said, don't touch it, plus putting loads of ointments on it will just ensure that it stays wet and won't scab, which it needsa to do to heal.

give it a chance, people have tattoos all the time, very rare anymore for it to go wrong, but one thing is for sure, messing with it and constantly touchng it will make sure it does go wrong, just remember that in essence you have an open wound on your arm and in general your fingers are covered in germs.

leave it alone and let it heal, don't pick at the scabs, and in a few days you'll have a great tattoo

Answer 7

Your tattoo is fine, don't panic. It's doing what it's supposed to be doing and what practically all tattoos do when they heal. Really. Just give it some air and keep it lubed up with the a&d ointment. It's going to get really itchy in a few days and probably will flake off too, and don't worry, your tattoo isn't coming off! Be patient!

Answer 8

Bleeding is normal at first, and some color will come out, but not to worry, tattooist always guarantee their work so when it heals completely and it looks as if the color is faded worse, go back and they will redo. Alcohol thins the blood, so if you happened to be drinking it will cause the excessive bleeding, if not than really give it until it heals completely and they will fix it.

Answer 9

Dont Panic, it just sounds like its trying to heal, your Tattooist should have given you advice on hoe to care for your tat'. it will bleed for a while & the colour will seem to fade but as long as you keep it moist with lotion it should start to heal after a few days, wipe it down with a SOFT Sponge & mosturiser under warm water regularly & dont scratch it. it will start to itch like mad but resist the urge otherwise it will scar & the colour will be patchy.

Answer 10

That is all normal. It'll be fine. Incidentaly, the pigment comes out with the scab, and what you're left with is dyed skin. That's why they are several shades lighter after they heal.
