Kou Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Hi guys, I'm posting here to seek advice on my new tattoo.. The healing is giving me anxiety. It doesn't seems to be healing well. It's been 8days since I gotten the tattoo. There is still certain part of the tattoo that is oozing and still slight painful. What should I do to make it heal better? Or is it some infection or allergy that I am facing? Or am I being too paranoid?

Simong Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 I think after 8 days that looks pretty normal. What have you been doing as far as washing, creams. After 8 days it probably still will be sensitive. I think you may be being slightly paranoid. Is this your first tattoo.

SStu Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 As long as it's not red, swollen, hot or painful then you're on track. It'll take 4-6 weeks to completely heal. oboogie 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/10084-tattoo-not-healing-well/#findComment-153214 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogrider Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 First, take allergy off the table. The number of people actually allergic to ink is tiny. Yes, some people are more sensitive to some colors or brands, but actually allergies are rare. If it's still oozing at 8 days, I'd let it dry heal from here. Just wash it a couple of times a day and don't put anything on it. Tattoos take 4-8 weeks to heal.

Kou Posted March 3, 2022 Author Share Posted March 3, 2022 Quite worried about this scab.. Looks like it's gonna take a very very long time to heal?

Hogrider Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Yup, that's bad and will probably take longer to heal. So? Get it touched up if needed. oboogie and Kou 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/10084-tattoo-not-healing-well/#findComment-153236 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kou Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share Posted March 23, 2022 Hi guys I'm here again, does anyone knows what is going on here? Or a normal healing process?

Hogrider Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 If it's not hot, painful and/or oozing, just let it heal. You had some really rough scabs and they take time. They take as long as they take. oboogie 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/10084-tattoo-not-healing-well/#findComment-153312 Share on other sites More sharing options...
