Hi! New to forum and new tattoo that is healing slow.

[Tanya Dietrich]

Hi, I'm new here, have a few tattoos, I like them all (now). I had a bad one fixed not too long ago. I have a new one and the healing process is pretty gnarly. It just hurts a lot, some of the outline is pink, but not spreading. I have a little issue with healing with the last 2 tattoos. We all know they're somewhat addicting.

This is the tattoo that I had fixed.

I hear ya - I'm having one of the roughest heals I ever had... Looking forward to when it's just my skin, ya know?

Welcome!

I used to heal very slowly. My first tattoos were a catastrophe and piercings weren't healing much better. Some cartilage piercings took two years (!!!) to heal...

Whereas the past years piercings have been healing lightning fast, as do tattoos (though my recent tattoos were small....but on my hands so I guess that is tricky).

The face looks much better on your tattoo now and the new colors are great.

I've experienced a horrible heal complete with the infection thing and everything. Most of my recent ones have healed fine and quickly. How long ago did you get it, and can you post a picture of it healing so we can tell if there's any serious issue?
