The guy who did it said aquaphor also. Thats what I used until I was told to use neosporin, and I only used on the bad spots. otherwise i used aqua. and bag balm, which was much lighter than aquaphor and has lanolin in it. bonus. I posted some pics if you click on the album you can see three of them, although they look better in the picture. Do you think I will loose the ink?

I have been searching for days to find someone with the same experience. I had my tat done last Sunday. All seemed great at first. I washed it multiple times with anti bacterial soap, because of the location(around my ankle) dirt kicked up when I walked to i washed it alot but not drowning it. After washing i applied a thin layer of aquaphor. Now one spot is still so moist and gooey I dont know what to do. I wont go back to the shop where I got it but I did go show a real artist(that I should have gone to first) and he said to put neosporin on the overworked area. That was a few days ago and now it is slightly red where it wasnt before and it is still wet. Should I let it dry out or keep it moist? And with what? I also used bag balm on the other parts and are healing nicely, starting to flake and heal. There a few small spots that are also overworked and wet but they are very small . Its also blue ink and I’m pretty sure not a reaction because the same color was used and healed fine. I can take a pic but dont see where to post it. Im so upset because it is a tat of my kids and I really wanted it to be special,my fault, I know but in my defense I have been to this shop for peircings W/O a problem and I know people who had great tats done there before. what I didnt know was that the owner sold and it was a different person. I hope you can give me great advice, I’m just not sure if I should let it dry out.
