I know people that have experienced this, especially when it is a large or highly visible tattoo. You've drastically changed the way you look, so your brain has to "re-define" how it pictures your body. This can often lead to some temporary distress or anxieties. All my friends who have experienced this felt better after your brain gets used to your new look and self image. Hope that helps!

Itchy fine rash possibly from Saniderm/aquaphor
Samth replied to Toilandtrouble's topic in Initiation
The exact same thing happened to a friend of mine. They used one of those sterile patches for his neck tattoo and it left a little rash in the exact same shape and size. All in all, it took about 2 weeks to fully go away. He also said that it was annoying even as it improved. It should go away, for him it was just the skins reaction to that covering. As far as advice goes, he noted that using as little lotion as possible really helped it feel better. -
Let it heal...only then can they do a touch up well. You don't know what needs to be touched up until it is healed

Once it is all healed, easy touch up

If these pictures are fresh vs healed, it looks like some of the darker/interior red could be a candidate for a touch up. This could give you a solution. However, it looks like they are present in your rubix cube too, so maybe it is just your skin/follicles holding ink? I also agree, that thing looks way over moisturized...let that thing breath!

I had something similar happen on my last tattoo (big, red, d20 on the back of my arm) and my skin did not like the red ink. It kept weeping and scabbing for ~2 weeks. Finally got it to dry out and heal. Got it touched up to put the red ink back in and had no reaction at all, healed super easy. Basically, the body can be really weird!

Looks like foggy skin of a healing tattoo

Without seeing a picture, kind of sounds like a little dried blood in the follicles. Should wash off/go away pretty quickly, at least in my experience

My wife has a water color-ish tattoo and it has held up fine. The advantage is a)it was done by someone who knew how to do it well, and b) the actual image has a thick strong outline and details with only the color shading done in the water color style
