Thanks, It's being done by stacey sharp!

For me the inner bicep was pretty awful. :(

Yep I use just enough. I gotta stop being paranoid.

ugh more random heat! whyyyy?

Mine doesn't happen always at the end of the day, it kind of happens randomly, hopefully it's just because of the clothes rubbing up on it too! it doesn't really get pink or red as much any more just hot. and Thanks! - - - Updated - - - Thanks mike! - - - Updated - - - Thankyou!

Thanks! :D very observant haha.

haha noooo, I'm a new york girl! He happened to be doing a guest spot.

Yeahhh I know what you mean , I just need to not worry so much! Thanks! It was done by Kurt Fagerland.

Thanks, Usually I heal pretty fast and without any issues but I guess because this ones extra large and in a high motion area it's more sensitive. Yeah Thank god there was no gray wash...otherwise there would really be problems! It's just frustrating to go looking for answers on the internet when everything says it's an infection. I was using lubriderm but I think that wasn't working too well on it, so I switched to curel, which is kind of sticky but I guess it's keeping it hydrated. I usually leave my tattoo's on the drier side and they come out looking good. Let me know what happens with your dry healing! - - - Updated - - - Thanks! :)

So my tattoo is a little over two weeks old and has no other signs of infection , but it has a tendency to get really warm (sometimes pink along with the warmness but not always). I went to my usual artist's shop and they looked at it and said it looked like it was healing up fine (and it could be tender and healing internally since it's close to the knee), but what's going on? - - - Updated - - - Has anyone had a similar problem? - - - Updated - - - The sides and top don't really ever get red and seem to be fine , it's more of the top of my thigh and especially close to the knee.

Well I got the entire side of my thigh tattooed (2 weeks ago today) and it wraps to the front and partially to the back, and it took way over a week to get the swelling down, i guess I just bruise easily. And then it would randomly get prickly heat and a little red. I've never had any of those issues with my tattoos before. :/ - - - Updated - - - And thanks for the welcome!
