Tattoo Infected?

Question

Hey, everyone! 👋 
I got this tattoo last Saturday. It’s been a week. 
I have followed everything my artist has said, I clean it twice a day, and keep aquaphor on it. However, I just noticed this…. Is this okay? Normal? Is it infected? It’s super red around it. It doesn’t sing or itch, it’s just hot to the touch. 
I reached out to my artist and asked him but have yet to hear a response back. Help? 😭

Answer

I have ALOT of tattoos and this kind of looks like the ink is rejecting.. I noticed you said this person has done your other tattoos, if they’ve healed fine in the past could your artist have gotten a new ink? It should also be in the peeling stage by now.. I’d get it checked out by my PCP just to rule out anything serious only bc tattoos are a bit tricky. Good luck and let us know if any updates!

Answer

Looks like your tattoo artist didn't know what he or she was doing

Answer

Did you get this done in a shop by a licensed artist?? 
Your skin could be rejecting the ink. It's also possible whoever did this piece for you used expired ink.
