tina Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Hello everyone, I have a question to ask you all. I have a tattoo on my right wrist and I am now on day 3 of getting it done. The skin is still a little sore, occasionally itchy, and occasionally oozing yellow fluid. is this normal? If normal, can my tattoo area come in contact with water? Can I scratch when it's itchy?

Dan Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Hi, you should be washing it with antibacterial or antimicrobial soap a few times a day anyway, and yes, after only 3 days it wil be sore and oozing a little, it's an injury to your skin, after washing it, gently dry it with a clean paper towel and apply a VERY light coat of something like cocoa butter or aveeno lotion,don't scratch it. tina, Hogrider and oboogie 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogrider Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 @Dangave good advice. It takes 4- 6 weeks to heal, longer if it went in rough. If it itches, you might try a cold pack, but DON’T scratch it. Good luck. tina, AlH, oboogie and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
