5 posts from you Dina, and all recommending a particular product.

You wouldn't have any vested interest in promoting this stuff would you?

I just think it was what wasn't completely washed off because my tattoo didn't fade.

I would take the wrap off and wash it with some antibacterial soap and see if it's leaked as bad as it looks. If it has I would go back to the artist and see what he says about it.

I'm not a pro. That's just what I would do.

Everyone does it different. My artist suggest leaving it wrapped over night, which I've done on both of my sleeves so far with zero problems. He does great work I can link up his website.

try tattoo genie daily spray...it has amino-plex in it and what it does is it closes your pores quickly after tattooing so when your pores close up it traps the ink so u dont loose ink

its awesome, i know first hand cuz it worked for me

hmmm, traps the pores? I thought the whole idea was to let the tattoo breath? The product you recommend to everyone may not work for everyone, I would recommend aquophor to you but you said its crap, and it works for me.

BTW did you post up any pics of your tattoos? I see you dont have an album.

I figure my artist will fix anything if need be, as I'm following his instructions. So far I've been pleased with my ink. Not sure if he tells everyone to do that or if its just for bigger tattoos?

My artists' instruction card says (among other things) to remove the wrapping after 6-12 hours and clean well but carefully with water and a mild soap.

This is the best, oldest, most revered, most sought after and busiest tattoo parlor in Iceland, and their work is spectacular so... I'm inclined to believe those instructions have at least some merit
