Don’t use neosporin. It draws colour out. Getting a tattoo wet isnt bad- running hot water over it actually recommended. Go back to your tattoo artist if you’re really concerned, and it doesn’t seem to be getting better.

Hopefully it’s not MRSA (a staph infection imune to antibiotics), it’s going around big time in the south! Sometimes when a tattoo gets a contaminant in it will force the skin to dislodge itself from the point of contamination so it can rid itself of the problem. Do not remove the pealed skin. If at all it looks like blisters instead of peeling go to the ER immediatly and get it taken care of. I don’t want to scare you, but I’m just saying MRSA is a very serious thing. I’m not saying this is what it is either, If it is peeling thick it most likely not MRSA. If you had it, it would look like big blisters. Good Luck!

Sorry about the drama, but it is very serious. It really is going around in basements, kitchens, bathrooms, and garages, and any studios that treat their work area the same. That’s why it is very important to take sanitation techniques very seriously.

A+D works but it forms a barrier over the tattoo and it has a hard time breathing, usually it is used wrong and it becomes as sticky as a fly trap and bacteria can stick and do the opposite of what you need it to do, so you have to use it right, sparingly.
What a person should use is bacitracin, or anything triple antibiotic, but as long as you clean it within the directed amount of times a day and do exactly what your artist recommends you will be fine. Any good artist should give a print out of any directions he expects you to follow.
