And I am washing it 3 times a day and then applying cream(suggested by artist) as i was suggested. Still i can see some part of the tattoo is not peeled off and i see greenish color fluid in some area. What is that? Some part is completely healed but that part color is looking very lighter. While when tattoo was fresh color was dark? So can you explain why colors are very light and why some greenish color fluid coming up? I had a tattoo5 days ago on my arm on biceps.

I take it off every few hour clean it let it air dry then it back on till it seems healthy enough to be left out. the tattoos that I have had come out better if I use plastic wrap to keep them moist and not rubbed all day by clothes and everything else. but I use a and d ointment or auqaphor.

I left the cling film on for two hours, washed it gently with soap and warm water, and put some bepanthon on it. I've been told to wrap it in clean cling film before i go to sleep tonight and to just apply bepanthon three times a day for the next five days. Noticed that when i patted it dry with the towel, some ink was on the towel :/ is this normal? i don't want my tattoo to come off!!! (it's an all black tat by the way..) Hey guys,

I really dont understand why people use that stuff. A+D ointment is really bad too! It doesn't hurt or cause any noticeable damage but it does leave toxins in your body for a very long time! You can buy natural ointments to help heal your tattoo just the same but without putting OIL all over your new open wound!

Also there reason petroleum is bad on your tattoo is because it suffocates the tattoo and that causes small white bumps the appear. when the tattoo heals these bumps go away but the white is still there and makes the tattoo look poke doted. i have t agree with “anon”. plastic wrap is one of the worst things possible. it causes moister to build and the heat from your body makes it a PERFECT breeding ground for bacteria.
