Is My Tattoo Infected?

April 17th 2009 16:25
When most people get a tattoo, they don't realize that it can get infected. Most people don't even realize that tattoos can be considered wounds while healing. Well, they are and they can, which is why proper aftercare of a new tattoo is very important. You've spent enough money getting the permanent ink on your body, that you don't want any mishaps to the tattoo.

Just remember that after getting your tattoo, you will experience some redness, swelling, and pain. If the symptoms worsen, the you may have a problem, and if you start to notice puss, and red streaks, you've really got a problem.


Depending on how bad the infection is, the treatment can vary from a simple topical solution to an actual antibiotic, so at the first signs or possibilities that your tattoo may be infected, you want to consult a doctor, or at least the tattoo artist.



You do not want to let the infection sit, thinking and hoping that it'll just get better on its own because there is the possibility that the infection will spread to other parts of your body, especially if it gets trapped under a healed tattoo.

Infections and healing tattoos are not to be played with, as this is your health that we're talking about, so if you have a prolonged healing time and prolonged pain, swelling, and soreness, you want to consult a professional as soon as you can.
