Hi everyone! I got a new tattoo yesterday on my wrist of my husbands name and the date we got married. Today is looks to me like the black ink is bleeding into my skin around the tattoo! My skin behind the letters and numbers and also all around the tattoo is turning purple!! I remember the ink bottle had some chinese symbols on it, if that helps. I have been putting pure aloe frim an aloe plant, which the artist recomended. Can anyone tell me if this is ok, I have 3 other tattoos and have never had this happen!! Thanks in advance if you can help!
It’s totally normal for it to look bad when your tattoo is healing, don’t worry! i still have surface blood/ink like 5 days later after washing twice a day it’s perfectly normal 🙂 See how it look’s after 3weeks and if it does not start to look like what you wanted to look like or any blank spots etc.. go to see your artist and he should fix it for free/ touch it up for you.
^^This it sounds more like a blow out then ink leaking on the skin and staining it. the Ink bottle had Chinese characters (letters)on it? Did you have this done at a shop or at someones house?
I concur. Sounds like a blow out to me. Hard to say without seeing it. A blow out happens when they penetrate too deep to the layer that isn’t attached to the layer below it (5th or 6th I think?). This is not usually fixable with a touch up. Also, the tattoo should peel at about day 5 or 6. This should just be the top couple of layers of dead skin you punched through peeling, not deep gnarly scabs, and should be done by day 7 or 8. If you have a deep wound past that it could be another sign that they went too deep.
