– tattoos can be painful, especially when fine details are added to thin skin layers.
– Intense pain or stinging may indicate an inexperienced artist going too deep, causing a tattoo blowout.
– Deep tattoos can lead to excessive bleeding and painful scabs.
Tattoo Infections
– Tattoo ink may irritate the immune system, potentially causing tattoo-induced myositis.
– Infections can result in swelling, redness, warmth, and systemic symptoms.
– Seek medical help, use clean bandages, and take antibiotics for severe infections.
Excessive Scabbing and Peeling
– Deep tattoos may cause excessive scabbing, peeling, irritation, or infection.
– Notify a medical provider if you experience these symptoms.
– Follow proper aftercare by cleaning the tattoo area and applying fragrance-free lotion.
Blurred or Distorted Appearance
– Deep tattoos may appear blurry or distorted if ink spreads beyond intended boundaries.
– Tattoo blowout and vigorous ink application can also cause blurring.
– Touch-up, cover-up, or complete rework may be needed for persistent blurring.
Longer Healing Time
– Deep tattoos with dense color schemes take longer to heal.
– Stick to regular cleaning and moisturizing routine using gentle soap and moisturizing cream.
– By the 14-day mark, signs of healing, such as diminished tightness and dissipated flakes, should be visible.
– The body creates a natural barrier to prevent infection, relieving pain and bleeding associated with tattoos.
