I have never clicked on a video so quick.
I swear!!!!
Same
Same! My bicep has a terrible outline that feels kind of bumpy or scared and I really want to cover it up.
Me too bru
love your videos like always 🙏🏼
This video was so needed! All of my tattoos are raised, however they don't stay raised 24/7. Sometimes I think it's because of the environment I'm in or the climate, but I used to think I was doing something wrong. Come to find out, it's just my body doing what it does.
Thank you for this content!
Because we are black baby our skin reacts differently, to tattoos. If your artist goes too deep into the skin. That raised skin is scaring. But we are also not medical professionals we can't always determine why but naturally our skin keloids. But we may have smooth tattoo on another part on our body and others tattoo may become raised! And like you said certain weather may cause it to get raised and itchy, like humidity on a hot hot day! Things to look out for is hot to the touch, puss, redness those are signs of infection so as long as you haven't experienced that and your tattoo is the way you like with those mild imperfections dont worry too much about it. There isn't enough research in our line of work yet to determine why this happens why that happens or why certain colors don't stay in the skin or certain ink and kind of ink you know. Im sure they will in the future but with whats happening right now with our new world order its just many on the list that needs to be addressed:) keep shining sis 🤎🤎🤎🤎✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
@@luxeacrylic3082 thank you!!! It is not the environment (despite you saying it is at one point... humidity has nothing to do with keloid scarring) and you are literally already on your phone totally capable of looking it up yourself... Yet you dont and continue to believe totally wrong nonsense. Blk ppl have more dense collagen fibers and the raised scars are from over regeneration of the collagen resulting in keloid scaring think back to EVERY SINGLE BLK FRATERNITY BRANDING scar youve ever seen. My burn scars on my skin (white) dont do that as much. Only on 1 of my 5 burn marks is the scar raised. This is something ive noticed my entire life growing up with mostly black friends. It isnt your environment and you're not dumb... But i wouldn't exactly call you very smart or resourceful either... Since you're literally seconds away from googling the answer but would instead rather live in total ignorance and watch a video of some id10t tattoo artist spout off what she just guesses it may be based on pretty much nothing. Its infuriating sometimes how much information people have at their disposal and yet they choose to continue on in complete ignorance.
@@luxeacrylic3082 lol the only new world order thats actually existed was the wrestling team hulk hogan was on. You're a conspiracy nut who almost sounded like you have some sense until you gave yourself away at the end with the whole victim claiming new world order crap.
Thank you so much for this! I’ve had my first tattoo for a little over a year now and I have been FREAKING out. This totally calmed my nerves. Also all the people mentioning seasonal allergies and anxiety… I have both lol. So this makes so much sense now!
Omg shut the hell up. Nobody cares that your butterfly tramp stamp is sort of raised. Gtf over yourself
I love your response! Would you believe that majority of white tattoo artist here think black people skin is tougher so they need to go harder and deeper, resulting in awful botched tattoos, and these are well seasoned professionals! Your response was super banged on. I wasnt expecting that but just goes to show how many inexperienced people are out there.
Here to confirm the same with Latin/Hispanic skin tones 🤣
Dang it, now i need to add this to my list of things to watch out for when looking for a tattoo artist T.T
this makes so much sense as to why that hispanic tattoo artist kept going back. now my tattoo looks wrinkled
Woooow
They don’t need to go deeper, they just need to saturate and pack that black in without hamburgering your poor skin. 🤘🏻❤️
It’s nice to see that I’m not dealing with this alone, my tattoo rises when it’s really hot and muggy outside and I hate it, but in general I have no issue..I’m just glad it’s not infected, guess I’ll have to get used to this
Mine does the same. The reason for this is damaged or scarred skin looses elasticity and doesn't stretch as well as normal skin. Your non inked skin changes with humidity, but the tattooed area doesn't
To help this, try using a hyaluronic acid before a light moisturizer and then a moisturizing cream chemical sunscreen over the tattoo to keep it packed with moisture. Make sure area surrounding it is also treated and see if that helps.
Do this only after tattoo is fully and completely healed.
@@lebeaubastion I appreciate you replying 🙌🏾 thank you
My outlines are flat but here and there you can feel the outline but when my allergies also act up they raise and get itchy and then disappears. Happens every so so.
Same !!❤❤❤
I’ve had all my artwork for 30 years and it gets itchy and raised several times per year. Benadryl seems to work to reduce the itching and inflammation.
When my allergies are bad, the outline of my tattoos will raise and you can feel the lines. I also scar pretty easily too so you can faintly feel the outlines even when im not having allergy problems
Ahh maybe this is what happens to my tattoo. I have had it for 17 years and every now and then it swells slightly. I was worried about ever getting another as I thought maybe I am allergic to the ink
Is is ok now? Wht did u do
My Outlines flare up SO BAD with allergies if I don't use sunscreen and aquaphor. I highly recommend using aquaphor if your tatts raise up and itch months after healing.
Just wanted to say that you are looking so well and healthy!
That can happen with surgeries too. I had surgery 2 months ago and my body pushed the internal stitches out.
This is the video I didn't know I needed, I have tattoos that range from 10 years old to this year and I have always wondered why they would sometimes be raised and other times be like a "normal" tattoo. I think maybe my seasonal allergies., or sometimes I get hives from anxiety and that is normally how I know I'm getting too anxious, my tattoos raise up as a warning. Well anyway this video got you at least one new subscriber 🙂
It's an irritation on the skin... I had this 10 months later after getting ink. It was fully healed then suddenly it was itchy and raised. Tried a few topical creams but the only thing that worked was tend skin. It's a lotion for razor bumps. Not to be used on open wounds! Only on healed skin. I have had this tattoo for years and no issues since
Hey can I show you mine
@@anthonyjr7033 uhh I guess?
Thank you for the information
You’re a God send!!! My year old tattoo became bumpy and extremely itchy, used tend skin and it’s completely back to normal! Thank you 🙏
@@Amanda-gs7mg that's brilliant I'm so glad it worked for you! I was i the same boat and freaked out for a while when it wouldn't go away.
your mic sounds very professional and amazing, do you mind saying what model you use? & ty for the vids.
can this also be caused by the texture of the skin? I got a leg sleeve by a tattoo artist that I believe is very professional. but almost all lines on my hip are bumpy and everything on my lower leg is competely flat.
All my tattoos are raised in the outlines. My artist says that I have a very sensitive skin and that he has to be carefull when tattoing me because the skin is so thin. Thank god that I find it relaxing to touch my 3d tattoos! 😉
Yooooo same 😭😭😭 I just find myself touching it sometimes and like it ain’t that bad 🤷🏾
It would actually be cool if all of mine didn’t itch like mad.
Your artist lied he scarred you permanently 💯
@@cmoore1369 this is why Im here. Mine itch like crazy!!! I had to do to a dermatologist where they biopsied it, not infection. They gave me a cream to use for a month. Only worked a few hours at a time. Two weeks ago they injected it with steroids, no difference. So Im here looking for help. Lol
@@hunterbelinda99 mine started doing this too on the areas where I have red ink after about 2 years of having them. Raised and itch. There’s really not much to do but leave it alone as far as I can tell.
Thank you for this information. Had my 1st tattoo last year. I found out that I'm allergic colors. It's all black outlines for me. I like the bumpy feel of my book qoutes tattoo.
Is it possible to have a blowout even if your needle is set at the correct length of protrusion (1.5-2.0 mm)? Would angle be more of the culprit for blowout than going too deep?
all my tattoos do this when my skin is irritated or if i'm super nervous it's cool to be able to feel my tattoos but super itchy
Happens to me too, but it becomes raised (3-D like almost), not bumpy. I have a full back piece, collar bones, shoulders and back of my arms done... it happens randomly and OMG it itches.
I scar easily so most mine are a little raised. Having them gone over can make that worse.
Allergies can cause it to. Wether it be to the ink or external matter.
whenever its really humid this one specific tattoo raises on my elbow lol
Yea I went to a beach house so all my tats are broke out right now which is weird .
My tattoo never got flat, i was always able to feel the lines.. now I cannot wear anything tight on my tattoo ( above my ankle ) and have to stick to shoes that do not touch the area because it gets really itchy when irritated. I tried putting another small tattoo next to it in case the artist messed up and it wasn’t my body’s fault. However, the second tattoo had the same fate. I am really devastated because I had so many plans for future tattoos… Does my body not want the ink or could there be another problem ?
Tyj, I thought I was dying or some shit😩😂
My tattoo left a scar in middle will it ever go away ?
My latest one is raised in places. It’s only 2 weeks old so hopefully it’ll improve. I was gonna go back to the guy for another tattoo but don’t think I will now until this one is 100% healed
I'm allergic to certain UV rays and I've noticed if I'm having a reaction to the sun, my tattoos (healed for several years) will raise. So interesting!
My daughter has the same issue, weird hey.
Is anyone else like me? Mine raises on the linework but not the colour, and it only does on my first tattoo. Also if I itch it the part I've scratched will raise a lil
I have one tattoo I got one week ago I have a tiny bit of bubbling or raising it doesn’t hurt and it’s not itchy it’s just weird to touch I do see flakes of dead skin coming off i was looking up videos to se what it was and if it’s bad
when ever i scratch my arm because i happen to have an itch all the black ink raises up like crazy...
its flat again after an hour or so...
Same! It goes away and comes back if I itch again lol
Is it true that you can’t cover up a tattoo that is slightly raised (I am guessing from scarring)? I have one inside of my bicep doing this, the lines/shading are raised to the touch (I would say less than a millimeter) and aren’t straight like they used to be. Never had it touched up, just want a cover up. It is an all black Zia Sun tattoo, around two years old now if that helps. Thank you to anyone with some advice.
Ive got such a problem too where keloid appeared on my upper handwrist after my tattoo healed, probably the tattoo artist put the needle too deep inside of my skin, but i dont blame him, thats the risk of tattooing..
I have a very bad healing right now. It’s peeling skin not just scab and some white clear a little yellow color in the middle. My artists is really heavy handed and he goes over one spot lots of times, im adamant to tell my tattoo artist if he could do it lightly as it is his style 😔 it’s extremely painful especially he goes over it even when it’s bleeding already
I have many tattoos that raise and itch in my sleeves, and they’re all black and grey. The linework is what always sticks out, and gives me a highly annoyingly itchy “3D” tattoo. I have tattoos over 15 years old that do this, so I agree with you in the body may be rejecting it. I always have had sensitive skin, despite taking ink and Sun very well. I get dark when I’m tan. My skin just hates cheap metal and linework apparently. 🤘🏻❤️
Is it normal for my tattoo to peel twice? I got a quarter sleeve done, and I noticed it peeled like normal (larger pieces), but now it’s peeling a second time (smaller/thinner pieces). Is this normal or am I not applying enough ointment?
Hello thanks for the video. After 2 weeks of using lotion on my new tattoo, I stopped applying it and after 2 days i got itchy bumps all over my tattoo.. hydrocortisone didnt work, but when i started re applying lotion "bepanthen", it seems like it starts to get better. Really would appreciate your help
I have used hydrocortisone cream on my elbow where I have bumps on my tattoo outline as well however you can’t use hydrocortisone every day for long periods of time. I have only use this cream when it gets itchy otherwise I would not be applying this every day for a long period of you only as needed for the itchiness
Love ❤️ you !!!I just turned on to your channel I really like your advice.
Wish you lived in my neck of the woods. I would love to come to your shop.
Help. My black tattoo that I got 1 year ago now looks green and some lines are swollen. Sorry, my english is very bad.
i got my tattoo almost 3 weeks ago and now my tattoo is raised and has itchy bumps is this allergy? what can i do to treat it i stopped using lotion for 2 days now pls help thank you.
I have this tattoo I got done and It got itchy after 2 months and I scratched it and it started creating these bumps and it went away. After that a few weeks later I scratched the same spot and it created more but now it doesn’t go away like it’s trying to heal but isn’t.
I have this same issue. Black ink. All line work and all raised.
I have a similar issue with the tattoo on my shoulder thats a part of a sleeve, its just black ink but my shoulder part is definitely bumpier and it gets a little itchy sometimes even though its fully healed over, and its all the same ink by the same artist and yet the rest of my arm is fine? Its very strange but I guess maybe the skin on my shoulder is thinner and is pushing the ink out more??
Same exactly thing happen to me recently I have my first big piece done 3 years ago, I when to the same person, to do much bigger piece have to do 4 sessions, after it was heal for two month, I start seeing some little bump at the end part of the dragon tail, I go to my doctor go a different cream to use, now it’s the middle part of the tattoo with these big dumps on it now
I have a scissors on my right wrist, I have it 8 years and sometimes if I wear something on it that's been rubbing it all day it will raise up and get kind of itchy, so I'll dab it with cold milk and it goes down...
I got my roses redone about 2 years after getting them because they faded and the entire outline is raised, all my other tattoos from my artist now are flat, only the ones that are from other artist are raised, so I fully believe it is due to the artist. I do notice when the air quality is not good, it swells up and itches. My vitiligo is spreading through it right now, so maybe that? There's too many factors lol
Ohh.... I too had tattoos that never caused any issues except this one.
This one has tints of red and majorly magenta. It could be the reason since wherever there's green, it's alright.
I have a tattoo that I got when I was 18. Its in the middle of my back. I noticed right away that it seemed raised in the outline. I followed after care to a T because I was so happy. The guy who did the tattoo said after he was done I went over it a few extra times so the color would look really good. Which would explain the amount of time it took him to do a tat that was as small as mine. Did he maybe go to deep or is it maybe because he went over over it to many times? Not that it really matters I would just like to cover it but the raised skin will always be shining through. The subject of it is great the execution was not.
Does it also hurt or no?
Mine wasn’t until years later everyone once in a great while some parts of my tattoo raise where the lines are not pimple raise but lines are raise
Great information. I had a tattoo years ago that was bumpy but I had it covered with another tat, different artist, never had an issue again.
my tattoo is bumpy and some websites are saying that it is not possible to do a cover up so I am little bit concerned and confused
Mine won't heal, I can't find anything on it and hoped this video would help. About 50% of it has healed and then the thicker lines will not shed! I don't understand because it's been like a month and a half since I got it done, it's still a little sore on the parts that haven't shed and it's definitely not rejection because its healed in spots right next to where it won't. I haven't over moisturized at all so idk what to doooo.
This video helped a lot I had my tattoo for some time now and I had it touched up on once bc the red ink was fading and now it’s risen but I don’t have an allergic reaction and the tattoo healed up fine but it is what it is I guess I think my artist just went a little deep in my skin but other than that it’s kinda satisfying to feel on my tattoo sometimes bc it just tells 3D 😂😂
I have a four tattoo but I have my fifth tattoo a month now but its so itchy! I don't know what can I do
Hmm interesting.. I got a tattoo on my back where the tats raised at certain times of the year… I thought it was allergies.. but after that i started tattooing and I did some work my leg and never had any problems( I used inks like Intenze/ Kuro sumi.. im thinking it was the ink that was used on my back that my body tries to get rid off..
Is it okay to cover up the allergy tattoo??
This happens to me alot with black ink ! Just getting new tattoos will cause my older tattoos around it to raise and itch for a bit. Im thinking its a sort of a small allergic reaction to the ink. Also happens when my allergies act up. They will raise and itch a couple times a year.
Hi mam because of tattoo my hand bacame thin can you tell me the reason
I have a circular tattoo on my hand , it healed fine , completely cleared up , no silver skin and then in the last couple of months it’s started swelling within the lines . My hand isnt swollen at all and it’s not particularly sore but the tattoo itself has risen at least 2mm . It only hurts if I catch it . What could it be and how can I fix it ?.
I was told it’s because of the red in but I couldn’t be allergic coz it healed fine .
Did it heal? How is it now?
I have a 2 years old tattoo, and it started to be bumpy 2-3 months ago. Than I don't know what happened, I went to the beach for a week and tanned almost every day and now it's back to normal and I can't feel it anymore.
Is it colored or black ink? Mine's also doing that.
@@knightrider6473 It's mixed, but the black part did it.
@@Lexi0626 I've heard of alot of people having bumps on black ink being diagnosed with sarcoidosis, it shows up in tattoos as bumps. im booked into doctor tommorow to have mine checked out.
@@knightrider6473 that's crazy you got such a violent disease from tattoos
Omg mines is with black ink too it’s currently happening to me right now with black butterflys on my stomach 😫 how long does it take to go away ??
Mine was also raised. I always suspected that my body didn't want the ink. It wasn't a very good tattoo anyway so I'm having it removed. I'm just about done with the removal, actually. But the bumps have also left. There is no more bumpiness. You can get rid of the bumps, but it might also mean you get rid of the tattoo.
What did u use for it because I have like a little bump on my tattoo a butterfly one . it’s abouta be 1 year in November. I need help
My artist is pretty heavy handed all of her work healed great and are all just as vibrant as they were 8 yrs ago, sometimes when I'm sweating or it's hot and I'm out in the sun I can feel the line work is raised but they're smooth the majority of the time
I had this happen to my first tattoo in the 90's when I was 18. Later I realized the tattoo was a mistake. I ended up getting it lasered off and lucky me, all of the bumpy scaring went away. I was told that it can happen but not for most people. I kind of knew it would though which is interesting. Almost like a willed it to happen.
I have an unfinished tattoo that I did on my shoulder where I purposely went too deep in hopes that the ink would stay due to the fact that I had fairly bad psoriasis when I was younger which would cause the skin to scab and flake off taking the ink with it most of the time whenever the skin was punctured. This caused the skin to scar raised up so I never finished what I started. I tried peeling the raised skin off hoping it would smooth out eventually but it just caused it to scar more until one day when I was using a cement mixer I had my arm in the drum and the rim of it rubbed across my tattoo basically sanding it down like sandpaper but not deep enough to cause it to bleed and scar but enough to smooth out the bumps. After a few weeks it was still not raised up so I took some freshly mixed cement that was just beginning to dry and rubbed it very aggressively into the rest of the raised areas and was able to get the rest of the raised areas back down. Now I still have an unfinished tattoo that needs to be covered up but at least the skin is even now. It probably wasn't the smartest way to do it but for me it did work.
This is insane, might as well take sandpaper to your tat.
Nobody should try this at all.
Her voice is lovely
Thank you 😘😘🌺
So what to do???
stupid me at 18 had an apprentice at a shop used me as her lab rat, I got bunch of scars from it, whole patches raised up like bad scars and was pretty bad. Luckily I only let her do a small portion of the shading for the whole tattoo, which is a big tribal with lots of dark black covering whole upper left arm, shoulders and front left chest. She did a couple hour session which was mainly the arm and shoulder cap. I let it heal before doing more, as I was a bit skeptical cuss I’ve never seen her work, and it scarred bad, so I went to someone else to finish it. Over 10 years later now and they are still pretty bad scars. So for me, it was most likely needles going too deep, she was inexperienced and cut me good. Other tattoos I’ve had done later with professional experienced artists, even when some would be super itchy and caused little scarring, would always flatten out later when it’s all healed.
I had the same thing happen to my tattoo and she is right the ink is trying to push its way out of the body, and a artist managed to fix mine by actually tattooing over the affected area with demineralised water pushing the bad pigment out and same I am not a doctor but it worked for me
My back is raised, but it's because the artist butchered my back. How do I know this? After getting the work done, I ran into many, many, many people tattooed by them, and we all had the same results regardless of how we healed our tattoo. He tattooed us with the equivalent of a fish hook. I've never had an issue with any of my ink, and I'm excited to finally have someone work on it almost fifteen years later. I've been extremely fussy who will touch it. After my newest piece, I won't trust anyone else to handle the train wreck he left.
It's this simple A+D ointment after leaving the shop is a no go buy new towels coconut oil tea ,tree oil, vitamin E oil anything but A+D I've had my first tattoo for about a year and it still looks fresh and don't be afraid to dry heal
I got lots of tattoos and just the recent one won’t go under the skin. I started working out just 2 days after and did sports every other day. Guess that’s the reason.
Which cream mam please tell me
My entire tattoo has spots of raised skin and i think it's solely because my tattooist was very heavy handed. My husband had a different artist and has no raised bumps. I've noticed on mine its only on the dense coloured areas
One part of my tattoo looks raised. My tattoo artist was light handed.. till almost the very end, he made me feel uncomfortable putting my hand on his lap, I moved it and I felt like he got upset and started to be heavy handed. 😡
That's so fukked
My outline look flat but the second my allergies active they get really thick and when I touch it it feels bumpy and little white dots so assume they are pimple but I’m scare because it gets warm not a lot but a little bit and I get a lot of pimples I try not to touch and they do go away but they keep coming back and idk what to do and some colors of it are fading
That's weird.. still happens?
@@brotherxela5085 not anymore thank god
Ur so beautiful. I love tattoos
Omg I’m here because my tattoo on my stomach is getting bumps and very itchy and I’m freaking outttt 😭 it’s been a year since I had it and now it’s barely happening. I do have eczema right now cause I’m allergic to my dog so I have rashes all over my arms , then I noticed my tattoo getting bumps and itchy I can feel and see the whole outline puffed up. What do I add to it and how long does it take to go away 😩😩😩😩
I would advice then to see you doctor about it 👍
update?
I just took a tattoo 3 days ago and its already bumpy. Its my second one and they both the same.
I have one specific shade of purple in my sleeve that randomly raised up after about 8 months. Thankfully its a small area and not very noticeable.
Im hoping it'll calm down - avoiding that shade in the future
Hi..Im an Artist and I used purple in 2 of my clients and after 6months it raises up.. the ink brand is Intenze grape
How is it now?
@@robertodevera5756 so it's not just me!
It's still raised unfortunately, I'm not sure on which specific ink it was but I will ask my artist next time I visit
Mine rises sometimes & is itchy but it goes away
I’m tattooed all over and my skin is now reacting after 3 years. They get little water filled blisters sometimes, I’m always itchy and the linework is raised. Like a 3D tattoo!
I also have ME/CFS and Fibro so I’m wondering whether I’ve developed an allergy and I’m sensitive now
@@spoonie_spice Yes one can develop an allergy to the ink years later.
As Illidad once said “I am my scars!”
Doc gave me cream for Exima, It works pretty good, Direct sunlight causes mine in certain areas
It's the body's way of saying, get this poison out of me.
After getting my couple first tattoos ( neck and hand tattoo they were raised but now they are flat not completely but much lower.. Got a few more the other day (chest and hand) the chest is flat but the one on my hand is raised.. So no pattern there for me to come to a conclusion but its seems that on the hands tend to be raised more I think.. However it goes down after a year.. I think its kinda look tho sometimes I rub my fingers over them slightly
And next thing they don't itch so if your reading this your fine its just skin type
I just came from watching a video from The Institute of Anatomy called What Tattoos Do to the Skin. Your inflammatory / immune system can cause an allergic reaction from the chemicals used in the inks. It’s crazy stuff.
My tats all of them are kinda like broke out .
Just had this happen with a 3 month old tattoo , took an allergy pill and it went away the next day
What did you take?
Have you ever heard of an allergic reaction that happens when the sun hits the ink before the tattoo is fully healed? This happened to me in May and my doctor said in 47 years he’s only read about it. My tattoo artist had never heard of it. It’s call photosensitivity .. a week after I had gotten my tattoo I woke up with what looked like blisters , it hurt so badly and felt like a burn. It took months to heal but thank God it didn’t hurt my ink.
So I have photosensitive skin! Mine will raise any time my histamine level raises or if I’m on the sun
Kay Baby omg that is crazy ! Do you still get tattooed ? I have a full have sleeve that is completely finished except for an area on the top of my arm , if I go outside it turns red but any other time you can’t see it. I’m supposed to be getting it shaded Friday so I hope it’s okay to tattoo there 🤷🏻♀️. I have 5 other tattoos and no of them have done this.
I do still get tattooed! I just got a new one like four days ago actually. But if I’m around a dog or cat mine will freak out and start raising and it burns soooo bad if I’m in the sun. The pains of being super pale.
Kay Baby my dermatologist told me not to go in the sun at all ! We need to start a club of this crazy condition we have 🤣🤣
I read that aloe vera can help with the scarring, but have to wait for tattoo to heal. I believe her assessment is correct
What about the pain?
I just put on a new body butter and it made part of my hand tattoo rise and was itchy for a bit. I think it might be the perfume in it. Idk.
I had a white tattoo done as a kid, without any experience , I don’t remember what, if anything was done for thorough sterilizing or proper disinfecting, or how deep the ink was pushed… you would think not that deep since it has faded to almost gone after 15 years…? The tattoo definatly was not infected , it healed quickly without much scabbing. but it stayed raised , rigid, irritated, pink, inflamed, & extremely itchy for years, though at times it would calm down, with ice and cortisone cream. years after than any minor irritation to that skin like getting scraped, or bumped, and the entire tattoo , and then eventually just the part of the tattoo that got scraped would raise up & get itchy, ridged, inflamed etc again. Even now, 20+ years later it is mostly all faded, but if something irritates the skin where there is any ink still left in it, that part of the tattoo will raise up & become inflamed itchy again. I wanted to rip out my tattoo which covered my entire inner forearm, but that was not doable. it was so awful for soooo long. It was for sure my body wanting to push out what ever was lodged in it (the ink, or what ever was in the ink). I always assumed I was either allergic, or had some germs injected into my skin with the ink. My cousin had an allergic reaction to red ink and had to have the strip of his tattooed skin surgically cut out and sewn together again. Going to see a Dr. after the fact, is not enough to prevent a serious potentially dangerous long term problem. This brings up a lot of questions I need to ask a dermatologist now that I’m a newish tattoo artist& esthetician.
My tattoo healed since like 3 months ago then out of nowhere I got pumps like little tiny pumps
my ink literally fell out of my knuckles when peeling and my hand.
yeah i have a keloid scar from a piercing. i agree, my skin just doesn't like foreign objects
I have a special needs client and he is allowed to gets tattoos which i don't care. BUT and the big BUT is they have to take care of it or understand how to take care of it!!!. Anyway the tattoo got infected ugh....... What do you think about special needs individuals getting tattoos?
Depends on the specific needs of the individual. Some adult individuals may have a caretaker, so communication with them would be paramount. Otherwise, you would have to do your best to educate the client on aftercare; there’s nothing you can do once they leave the shop, though, besides reminding them to email or call you if they have questions.
Daddy o should have taken care of it. But daddy o did nothing
Totally different question: What if the artist you want has said no to you're idea? However he said that if I had another idea I was welcome to ask him again in the future.
Find another artist.
@@ablair33556 Yeah... maybe I need to but he did some really great oneliner/singleliner tattoos. And I can not find that many artist that do that.
I already looked and there are nobody closer then that artist and he was not even from my contry. It sucks.
@@TheAwakealive are those the tattoos that don’t last very long? Maybe it’s a blessing in disguise, unless it doesn’t matter to you how long it last.
@@brioche8123 doesn't last long? Not what I know of. I know however a lot of people getting oneliners are often people who do not take care of them that well in the sun. So like any other tattoo: use sun creme or the tattoo doesn't last long. 🤷♀️
@@brioche8123 maybe you are thinking about single needle tattoos? 🤔
Autoimmune illnesses can trigger this hyper scarring that occurs with tattoos also.
Sounds like keratosis pilaris, this can happen on skin regardless of wether its tattoed or not, it occurs most regularly on the backs and tops of the arms,legs and butt. Harmless. Good exfoliation and hydration, although im sure exfoliation is not to great for tattoo.
Does blood need to come out when doing a tattoo?
no
but it is possible for it to bleed
Possible allergic reaction, I sell body jewelry a small percentage of people are allergic to stainless steel including me. I have titanium knees and glasses. I sell both stainless and titanium jewelry including the curved barbell foe belly button rings. Some people will will reject stainless body jewelry without showing any rash. Nickel is the main culprit in metal rash symptoms along with some other trace Metals in gold and silver jewelry. Sterling silver is 92.5 persent silver the rest can be anything, there is no set standard as every refinery has their own alloy. Hopefully this helps you.
Ya I have raising , normally from more heavy handed artists or with coil machines …. Pretty much scarring
Ok but what happens when it gets to that point
