Hows it going? Issues with a first day tattoo. Well I am Snake I am a tattoo artist out of the Tampa bay area and have been tattooing for a little over 10 years. Don's stress that on the first day. It is normal for your skin to do wierd things after getting a tattoo. Peoples skin reacts differently to it but everyone's skin get red and swollen. As you know the needle penetrates your skin hundreds of thousands of times. It is an open wound. Just use whatever healing method YOUR tattoo artist gave you and wait it out for a few days. If it's still bad after that call your artist and talk to him about it. Good luck! If you have anymore questions post another question with my name in it.
Reply:you need to go and see a doctor cause he might have used a dirty needle and it could be staff or another kind of infection. don't wait to find out check it out asap cause it could be real serious..
Reply:It's probably your skin just becoming irritated and swollen. The little red dots may even be like blood blisters.



Skin gets quite irritated after tattoos.



Get some tattoo goo or some neosporin and put it on the tat all throughout the day, to keep it moisturized.



After a few days the skin should reduce in swelling and the redness should go away.
Reply:just ring the place you got it done at and ask if its

normal, you may have to put some cream on it or something
Reply:This is relatively normal. Skin can become irritated by the tattooing. Also, if you have a latex allergy (you might not even know you have it) the gloves he wore and the tape they use to secure the bandage afterwards could have caused you to rash and this is why it doesn't hurt. Mine rashed really bad around where the tape was on my bandage and didn't go away from three days. I say give it another day make sure to wash the whole area really well tonight and let it sit and breathe for about half an hour. DO NOT USE NEOSPORIN! I know that was previously mentioned but DO NOT put it on your tattoo is slows the healing. Whatever ointment you are using on it spread over the red parts. I suggest Bacitracine Zinc or tattoo goo. If after that it doesn't show any signs of improvement definately call the shop where you got it done and ask your artsit if maybe he did dry runs along the outside or anything.
