Had my tat done on Saturday and its going a little bit red/inflamed around the edges in some places. Is this normal?

Also due to the type of job I do I can only clean and cream my tat in the morning and evenings, so no chance to look after it during the day.

Hiya. Bit hard to tell without seeing it. Should not be getting red and sore in my opinion. Can you post up a pic?

I did try to take a pic, but it did not come out to well. Looking at it again this morning I would say that the redness has gone down a lot over night now.

Mine always were red for 24-36 hours post tattoo but after that they went down quite alot.

Also although I used to clean them only am and pm I found even drying the piece of could lead to it appearing red, so time of day and state of cleanliness can be important.

As long as its gone down and the heat is coming out of the redness you’ll be alright.
