Was my Tattoo Over worked or done too deep.
Asked Sep 11, 2008, 02:41 PM

10 Answers Hi, I got my tattoo done 8/28/2008. The ink is now bleeding into other parts of my skin and there are several "pits" in the design. There was several deep scabs and even portion that was infected. I know that infection can sometimes occur, but with the bleeding of the ink, the cloudliness of how the tattoo is now I wanted to know if my skin was overworked. I went to another shop (other than where the work was done) and that artist told me that is was over worked and too deep. I have been treated for the infection, but now I am wondering if my tattoo was done incorrectly because of the bleeding of the ink, the cloudiness and the pits that devolped (which were not in the affected area). I have attached a link to my photobucket pictures. Thanks for any help. Bigtamw65/My Tattoo - Page 1 - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting |

| It's normal for a bit of the ink to come out after a tattoo is done; it's happened on each one that I've had put on me. That's also what I would attribute the cloudiness to; not all of the ink will stay in your skin, and it's a lot more noticeable on color instead of black ink. However, you should not have scars like that where a tattoo is supposed to be. As for the infection, the tattoo artist can simply try to argue that you didn't care for it properly which led to the infection. | ||||

| Hi I had a tattoo done bout 2 years ago and mine is raised very sore and new skin continually grows on it hence it flaking n that. All a tattooist will say is 'cant do much about it but live with it' iv been doctors and all tried dif creams my last option is lazer removal not good. You can't do this because of the design of yours. So you are just going to have to wish and hopes it corrects itself gooooooood luck | ||||

| I know this is an old thread, but for anyone else who has found this through curiousity about a recent tattoo, I would say it is more than likely too deep. The spreading effect of ink under there the lines is where the ink has penetrated past the dermis and entered into the fatty tissue underneath. The cells in this part of the skin are not as stable as those in the dermis which is why they spread and you get that hazy look, or "blown lines" as they are known. | ||||

| I know this is an old thread, but looking at the linework in the whole tattoo, I am certain it was done too deep. The hazy effect under the lines is due to the ink enetrating too deeply into to fatty layer of skin. The skin cells in this layer are not as stable as those in the dermis, and the result is the ink on blotting paper look, or "blown lines" as they are called. | ||||

| The ink spreading is due to blown lines. It is caused by the shading much deeper than the out line. Think of your skin as having chambers beneath and filling it with pigment or as common folks know as ink. If ink in shading goes further than the outline it will sneak underneath and outside the outline. With it being hazy, look into what procedures you used for after care because soaking yor tattoo will cause the skin " epidermis" to soften and break, spilling the pigment before you skin has time to absorb it. Dry environments are also bad because your skin stretches as you move and therefor cracks leaving your skin open to be penetrated by unwanted foreign stuff such as bacteria for your white cells to try kicking out you tattoo from you skin. | ||||
