This update is for anyone who may go through something like this in the future. The red spot is almost gone. Two weeks tomorrow. There are still a few small red spots but in general it is almost healed. I did get a little nervous for a few days, but realized how tough our skin really is. Thank you for all comments. Scheduled for next Friday to get…[Read more]

Good Morning. I had something happen with my leg tattoo and ended up going to the doctor. They call it practicing medicine for a reason. They had no idea what mine was but thought it was a fungus. Our situations are different but the fact is skin is tough stuff and very good at healing. Take a breath and change your goo to something else. Keep an…[Read more]

The first picture was from last week. This is a picture from today. 10 days since the tattoo. It looks worse in the picture, but in real life it is getting better. The thickness of the skin has changed for the better and the center appears to be more transparent. The size is getting bigger but I hope it is almost over. Using the goo from the doc 3…[Read more]

They gave me some goo and said if its not better br Friday i should go back in for a biopsy. I think that was just some scare tactics. My personal onpinion is,…[Read more]

Really didnt want the random picture showing up in the gallery.The light bulb turned on today and I figured out what was going on. Ok. Here is the deal. This red spot showed up after having some work put over a tattoo that…[Read more]

That picture is pretty accurate. The reaper was done 3 weeks prior..when the shin was done and blended in a week ago this showed up. The scab is actually gone from both areas. The skin itself feels thicker when you run your finger over it, and it is clearly raised. I agree with you, it is just from working an area before it was completely healed.…[Read more]
