Hello everyone. I got my second piece on January 14, so it's been 3 days since I've had it done. I had a massive razor burn that day when I was shaving my arm, but went along with the process anyway. This is my arm right after tattooing
I feel like that razor burn area has become worse since. It has become very warm and itchy, even redder and a bit swollen. I continuously monitor my tattoo for any drainage or smells but I don't detect any. At the end of 3rd day it started to get a bit flaky but I'm really afraid of a serious allergy or infection. These are the images from the third day.
Any ideas if it is normal to have inflamed and itchy area near the tattoo at the end of day 3? When should I see a doctor if these problems don't subside? Thanks all!
