I just need a little bit of advice or to see if someone has experienced something similar to me.
I got a tattoo done a week ago, it was a 5 hour session and it goes from my ankle up the majority of my calf. It is a coloured tattoo.
I’m still in pain when I stand for too long or don’t sit with my leg in the right position. Has anyone else experience this will calf tattoos and how long does the pain last?
The swelling has gone down and there is only a slight bit of red around the tattoo but nothing serious. There is no heat coming from it. It is scabbing just now and I noticed a tiny bit of yellow liquid coming from one bit of the tattoo but it didn’t have any smell.
I just want to make sure this is normal as it has been 10 years since I had my other tattoos done and I don’t remember any of this (they are much smaller in comparison)
I am using dove soap with Luke warm water twice a day on it and using lotion provided by the tattoo artist 2-3 times a day. I am washing my clothes everyday and have not worn anything tight that would irritate it.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
