Healing time: Inner Thigh tattoo
Gingerninja and 5 others reacted to IX XV LXXXVIII for a topic
Just got back from the doctor. Clearly infected and put me on triple antibiotics right away. They were like, "yea we're going to give you the standard antibiotics because you can't wait any longer until you have to go the ER" They also said to clean it with hibiclens and put a thin layer of aquaphor. No tegiderm tho.6 points -
Session #3 tonight for my Japanese style dragon sleeve. I know, I know...I’ll get some pics up soon. Sorry about that. Edit: Should be the last of the line work plus the shading completed today.2 points

See, I don't think that is so great. But as @Hogrider said, if you like it, that's all that matters. I'd really consider symbols instead.2 points

That's good. I know that I am stressing about two appointments in September. I have plans to attend the London Tattoo Convention. Of course, the Boeing Max 737's are still out of commission and that's how I am supposed to get to London!2 points -

Every time I've used it the leaking has stopped after the 1st 24 hrs. If you're still producing sludge after 3 days I'd personally be inclined to unwrap it, let it dry out and get a better visual of what's going on.2 points -

Gingerninja reacted to oboogie for a topic
I saw the doctor after a few days. Something was clearly wrong, and my artist sent me straight to the doctor. A lot of the tattoo was fine, but the main color (the contaminated blue) fell out completely, and it had to be touched up a couple of times (with a completely different color). He has never used that blue again on anyone because he lost sleep over that infected tattoo. He was SO worried.1 point -

That's how my infected tattoo looked, and I had to take antibiotics (the doctor actually gave me a big shot in the ass and pills). I'm glad you are seeing the doctor. Mine was about half the size of that. One of the inks my artist used was either contaminated, or I was allergic to something in it. It was horrible. He was terrified I was going to lose my leg (although that was never going to happen). Let us know what the doctor says.1 point -
I wouldn’t put anything on it until you see a doctor. That’s rough, you’ll just need to see how it heals.1 point

Very cool, I'd really appreciate that. Think I'll follow Old Soul on IG, I keep a close eye on that.1 point -

Well, I don't see it as disrespectful...they need to cover their costs and make sure people are committed. That being said, I hope that your artist has an accommodating reschedule policy. Booking for 6-8 appointments in <x period> of time, requires a lot of planning and life does happen.1 point -

You do realize that script is really hard to do correctly, right? There is zero margin for error. I hope you did your homework and found a great SCRIPT tattoo artist, not just a great tattoo artist. Also, thin script on thin skin is a recipe for a blow out. Not to say it always happens, but it certainly increases the chances.1 point

just leave it alone, and the ink is not a health risk.1 point

That is actually a great idea using symbol imagery instead of words. The sky is the limit going that route.1 point
