Red bumps around my tattoo are spreading. what the?

Question

I got my tattoo Friday and I was using Vaseline. (Then realized that wasn't good) so I switched toa&d then More of the red bumps appeared. So I used dry skin non scented lostion. Now using aquaphor. But the red bumps are now on my tummy and butt cheeks. Also my boyfriend has them on his chest and legs. HELP!!

Answer 1

Are they itchy? - Could be an allergic reaction to the creams you're using or if the tattoo is itchy! it could be the ink... which would be a first and strange.

My suggestion is to keep the tattoo clean. Clean it twice a day morning and night then put some bepanthen on it _ not the baby-nappy kind, there's a type you can get for piercings.

That'll calm down any inflamed skin, keep in moisturised and get rid of the bumps I recon.

Answer 2

Your skin is irritated.... Stop with the creams.... It's normal you body can be rejecting the ink... It's ok... No more a&d
