    I have a Blemish under a tattoo. The tattoo is not new – roughly a year old.
    Question is – all I have been using is an anti-bacterial soap to try and get this pimple to dry up and go away – It has now turned to a white head. Will this affect the tattoo? Should I put any medication on it? Will I need a touch up?
    Thanks!

    It’s a zit, pop it and move on.

    From a medical POV, that is a terrible idea.

    Just exfoliate lightly with a washcloth and antibacterial soap. If you squeeze, you risk opening a sore up and taking ink with you.

    Thanks Gray!!!!! I have been doing just that – all is well – blemish is gone – no damage done – If there was damage my artist would have touched it up, but no need! Thanks again!

    Peter…LOL!!!! I panic over small stuff – never had a zit under a tattoo – A Rambo knife it is!

    It is actually all healed after treating with regular anti-bacterial soap…
