i had my first tattoo yesterday and im a tiny concerned to wake up and find the exact same print on my bedsheets.

i have followed the instructions from the artist to wash with water and then put bepanthum cream on.

was wondering if this was anything to worry about?

Thanks


Answer:
Yes some ink will leak the first couple days, and then when its healing and flaking it will look like color flaking off. Is normal….just keep it clean. And no do not keep cling wrap over it, that will slow healing and help keep it moist and warm…i.e. perfect place for bactereia to breed….raise chances of infection.

Answer:
normal stuff! your body is trying to reject the ink as it sees it as a foreign body keep it clean and wash 3 times a day with soapy water and keep covered for first 2 days or so this will speed up the healing process and lessen scabbing which might affect the look of your tat (they do this in hospital on burn victims to lessen likelihood of infection and speed up healing)

Answer:
Don't worry, that's normal.

The ink is deep into your skin but there's still going to be some on the outer layer.

The cream that you quite rightly use, is sticking the excess ink to your bedsheets. This won't last long - just a few nights.

Answer:
Yep when you get tattooed your artist over saturates your skin with ink. The first couple days afterward you will notice plasma and ink seeping out of your tattoo. It's perfectly normal.

Answer:
happened to me too the artist told me basically it is an open wound until it scabs over then the ink will be set.

Answer:
best to put cling film on 4 3 days. It makes the scabbing skin less, preserves colour and makes it more comfortable.

Answer:
Don't worry. That happened to me.

Answer:
its ok and it will wash off your sheets
