on 11/16/2008 If i have little red dots around my new tattoo is that something i should worry about?

on 11/13/2008 I got my tattoo yesterday and now i look at it when woke up and there are like lines around it missing ink. like say if u were 2 color something in and u miss spots/ lines. i mean when they did it there was no lines everything was fine . any 1 help me?email me RockSolidXM1@aol.com

on 10/18/2008 i got mine about 5 days ago....left the bandage on for about 1 and a half to 2 hours took it off...let it dry the rest of the night...put some ointment that the tattoo parlor gave me before i went to bed...woke up washed my hand and washed my tat with some ordinary hand soap and water took a shower...and then put the ointment on 3 times a day for two days then switched to gold bond ultimate healing skin therapy lotion...its a blue gold and white bottle it works the best...no cocoa butter or any fragrance lotion....no neosporin...a week later mine is looking so fresh and healthy

Yes, if there are spots missing ink, it's normal but you should be able to go back to the tattoo studio and get a free touch up... they told me when I got mine that after it healed, if there were empty spots, he would give me a free retouch.

on 8/20/2008 i just got new tattoo.. and after several of days, there's some of spot that is missing of inks.. is that normal? should i go back to studio and retattooing that areas?

on 8/19/2008 You shouldn't use an antibiotic unless you have an infection, instead used a skin protectant like A&D Ointment or Eucerin's Aquaphor Healing Ointment.

on 4/25/2008 i got my tattoo done yesterday i went to bed with this bandage and in the morning when i removed it my tattoo was all wet it was some kind of a liquid is it alright???

on 10/5/2007 Ive been using alot of the stuff that it tells me not to and its comin out pretty bad. I didnt realize i shudnt re bandage it, didnt kno not to use neosporin (which many people have said TO use and NOT TO use. I was confused) and i applyed way too much of it. DONT DO THAT it comes off on my clothes sooo easily.

on 5/26/2007 I bought a triple antibiotic ointment to put on the tatoos that a friend and I had done at the same time. I didn't seem to have any trouble with it, but it made her ink flow right out of her arm. We went to the store and got a small bottle of unscented Lubriderm and split it (some in a pill bottle from the pharmacy for me and the rest of the bottle for her.) I haven't had any problems since then and my new ink looks great, hasn't hurt since the needle was actually on the skin. Damn, ankle tats hurt!

on 5/16/2007 hi, i had a new tattoo made over my old one which some changes n made it a bigger... a few days later, the skin started to peal,and a small section fell off. but i noticed that the ink is almost not there... should the ink appear clearly after the full healing process or do i have to go over it again after the healing process?? thank you

on 4/15/2007 I just got my new tatoo of a dragon and inside part of it has white spots I was wondering if that is the healing process of the tat. I've been washing it lightly and using bag balm and it still is very itchy when I rub the bag balm on it.,

on 3/22/2007 I prefer plain bacitracin personally. It doesn't have the unwanted sulfates of something like pollysproin.

It should be mentioned the reason for keeping such a thin layer of the ointment, is because when its too thick it tends to draw out the ink.

on 3/2/2007 I just got a tattoo last night. It hurt soo bad!!! hehehe. Anyways, my artist gave me 2 simple directions to preserve my tattoo. He said to apply every "2 hours" Bacitrin Ointment, USP and let it air dry. Also, he said, at night I should apply a thin layer of it and put serane wrap around it, taping it in place. This guy has his COMPLETE body covered in tattoos... So I trust him!!!
