denialsam answered Wednesday May 2 2007, 6:36 pm: Keep watching it for infection, if it gets too inflamed [some redness, soreness, or swelling is normal] I'd suggest seeing a doctor. Even with a sterile needle there's still plenty of chances for infection since you did your tattoo yourself.
If it's not infected, get this stuff called 'tattoo goo' or something similar to it, it will preserve your tattoo. You can also use regular lotion, just make sure there's no alcohol in it [it takes out the ink]. Cover it with gauze the first few days.
Yeah and also I'd say next time just go to a professional place to get a tattoo done, pen ink just has a high chance of bleeding into the skin and your home-made tattoo might not look that great after a few years [maybe less]. [ denialsam's advice column | Ask denialsam A Question ]
