Milky blotches?

[JaxMase]

Hey Guys, 

Need some advice- 5 weeks post new tattoo (half sleeve) and majority is non colour however as you can see in my images where there is colour (white and pink) I have strong “Milk Blotching” if that’s what you would call it around the flowers! 

This was done overseas (3 day sit) and I am back home now so, can’t really go speak and show the artist face to face and discuss. 

I have been showing him images via email etc and he said it’s fine, it’s still healing... however I am very worried about it! 

Any professionals on here with their opinion would be really appreciated- thanks again 🙂

5 weeks is pretty fresh,have you tried a good moisturizer like Aveeno ?

does is hurt to touch it ?

 

otherwise it looks normal to me.

[JaxMase]

Nah it’s not sore at all man. 

I used Bapanthan first now just QV cream. I’ll give that a go...

Are you saying normal as in the white will go away with time?

If it's dry, use moisturizer; if it's oily, stop using moisturizer. I've never had that, but everyone doesn't heal exactly the same. I will say that most issues I've seen come from too much moisturizer, not too little.

Ok thanks for the tip Hogrider.

It's neither dry or oily to be honest however I am still apply moisturizer.

Maybe I'll just let it be for a bit, let the body do "it's thing"...

Just let it heal.

[JaxMase]

Yep- that's the plan, hoping it just heals well.

Yup. You never hear anyone say, "I just let it heal by itself and I'm having this problem." It's usually that they are putting a quart of the latest Tattoo cream on it every day.

I've cut back my after care drastically from when I first started getting tattoos and I don't see any difference in healing at all.

Thanks mate, I'll keep you guys posted.

Appreciate the feedback.
