okay so i got a tattoo about a week ago. its sore still and red just around the tattoo. not swollen at all but sore. it scabbed a little but anytime i put bactriacin on it, the scab came off..prolly shhould stop that right? but my question is...could my body be rejecting the ink...or is the space...inside off my ankle/ somewhat calf...just healing differently than other parts of my body. i was also thinkin that because the color was done...then went over totally again it might be healing differently. its not pussing...just typical clear with ink or whatever and im not purple or nothing is spreadin on my leg. i dont know if its infection...or just healing wayyy differently because of the spot. im nervous because it is sore..and still kinda open. the only spot that is reacting differently is the one spot that was colored over twice...could this be the reason? what should i do..i also wear pants a lot cuz its cold and hair gets into it...so ive been trying to cover it...i dunno what to do? help! ps. sorry for the long post.
