I recently got my first tattoo on Thursday. It is a kind of small flower on my inner hip. This is my first and only tattoo...lol it hurt like none other, but I know everyone says I will be back for another. My question is...it hurts really bad now. Because its in my stomach/ hip crease and my hip/thigh crease its constatnly being moved around. I try to wear no underwear and keep it dryed out, as my artists want me to do a dry heal and only wash and lotion 2x a day. It seems to "stick" to my clothes when I sit or lay dow, and ooses clear sutff alot. Ink is still coming out a little bit, and its just now saturday. I wanted to know if all of this sounds normal for this kidn of tattoo?

This is completely normal. The oozing is just plasma from your blood. I'm sure you've been told not to pick at the scabs, so don't! It pulls out color.
