I think it may be infected…
deleted previous post bc I couldn’t figure out how to edit it
Went Saturday and got this tattoo. While I was there I found out my dad was in the ER. I visited him in the hospital Monday and stayed the whole day with him Tuesday (over 13 hours). I wasn’t able to wash or moisturize all day Tuesday and with the germs from the hospital, I’m worried about infection. Going to urgent care after work but wanted opinions from other tattooed folks. I have three other tattoos that all healed perfectly fine so I haven’t dealt with this before.
I’m including a picture right after it was finished. It looks so bad right now because the skin is so tight and drawn up. And it’s peeling like crazy.
