I recently got my tattoo (a week ago today) and I accidently scratched some of the scab, it started to bleed. Is this normal? Or do i need to get it checked out?
I guess i should say that this is my first tattoo so i’m a little paranoid about infections and such.
duhh. its just ink in your skin, and skin bleeds.
scratch any scab and if it isn’t healed yet it will bleed.
The more you scratch, pick or whatever, it’ll bleed which is Very bad! You’ll scar it and pull out the ink.
But not all is lost, just start taking better care of it and that’ll make it itch less, and it’ll be less likely to pull out color. Even if you do pull out color or scar, any Good artist can retouch anything that happens without much damage to your skin or the design.
Don’t worry about infection or anything, if you start taking good care you should be fine. What I’d suggest is washing it with liquid dial soap (it’s antibacterial and dosn’t have any dye or fragrange) and pressing it dry with a Paper towel, (NO exceptions) and then moisturizing it with Lubriderm, or any other scent/dye free lotion)
i dont think thats to good mine never bled after the first day. and also dont scratch the scabs let them fall off. by scratchign then u can cause scar tissue to form.
