These were recommended by my doc because the plasma starts dripping off my arm in minutes. Tattoo is located on inner forearm. First pic is fresh, second pic is from is after washing this morning, day five. I've never seen that, but the skin looks over moisturized. I'd stop putting anything on it and just let it dry out.

So the tattoo is basically an open wound and it got infected. He also said that tattoos on extremities can get more inflamed than on the torso. And that I was dealing with inflammation plus cellulitis. Can't say for sure what caused it me or the shop. Artist said she followed the same set up as other tattoos and that my tattoo was the first time she's had an issue.
