Your tattoo might also be giving off some heat — hold your hand above it and that particular area of your skin is probably fiery. This is also a part of the healing process. Your white blood cells and plasma are reacting to the open wound — this is natural inflammation, a way for your body to destroy any toxic agents as in, potential for infection and restore tissue.
Your body is doing the hard work to basically close up that first layer of skin , the epidermis, so the tattoo can live in your second layer of skin, the dermis. Some people who have immune-disorders, struggle with dehydration, or are prone to bruises may experience additional bruising at this stage. By the end of this stage, your tattoo will probably start scabbing.
Your epidermis is healing itself and is no longer an open wound — your white blood cells, the protectors of your immune system, have worked together with the plasma proteins in your body to create a scabby cap where your open wound was. The ink is still there, underneath , but the first layer of it that was hovering in the epidermis will flake away. Healing taking a long time? If you experience any of these symptoms for more than a couple days, you should call your doctor — not your tattoo artist — right away.

That being said, some parlors do totally legit tattoo sales for holidays, like Halloween or Friday the 13th I've even seen some for Harry Potter's birthday.
They're called "flash sales" and you pick a pre-drawn design for a discounted price. Other than that, though, tattoo shopping isn't the time to bargain shop. Instead, save up for a professional, reputable tattoo artist. A post shared by Justin Bieber justinbieber.
Ink allergies and allergic reactions to the prep and aftercare process can happen. How do I know? But if you're experiencing a reaction, it's likely due to a substance used in the tattoo process or aftercare products which is what happened to me.
Often people with sensitive skin mount a reaction to the prep process that cleans and sterilizes the skin, which is more common than a true allergic reaction to the ink and tattoo itself. If you do react badly, the tattoo might break out in an itchy red rash like mine, but Dr. Nazarian says it can be treated with steroids from your doctor or extra-strength hydrocortisone cream. That's what I used and my tattoo healed just fine after treatment, FYI. Read the full story of my terrifying tattoo reaction here.
A post shared by Kelsey Stiegman klstieg. Yep, like voting and scary movies, you've gotta be 18 to get inked. Some states will allow you to get a tattoo earlier with a parent's permission while you're still underaged, though. Just because the tattoo parlor is within walking distance from your dorm, doesn't mean it's a quality shop I learned this one the hard way, btw.
Visit the parlor, ask about their artists' licenses, and also check out reviews online — Yelp will give you allll that tea. Tattooing laws differ by state, so you should research the guidelines in your state and make sure anywhere you're considering has the proper licensing and adheres to those guidelines.
How often do you clean this station I'm going to be tattooed on? What kind of surface do you tattoo off of? Getting a tattoo isn't a minor change, like coloring your hair. Though it's much more important how the surfaces and tools are being sanitized, the shop should look and smell as clean as a hospital. Reusing needles can spread infection or cause you to contract a serious illness, like HIV or Hepatitis B.
So your artist should use a brand new, single-use needle and use all new cups, napkins, and gloves. Watch to make sure they open the needle package in front of you to insure it's clean. Porous materials, like wood or marble, can be difficult to fully sanitize, so it's not a good option for a tattoo station. After you have the parlor picked out, check out their artists' work on Instagram and decide which one you want to work with.
Different artists specialize in different tattoo styles — some are great with color, others with portraits or dainty script. Don't forget to read the comments to see what their customers think. The artist will draw the outline of your tattoo before they apply it, so make sure you're especially observant when you okay the design. Sessions go faster for those who can tolerate the pain of tattooing more.
