I highly recommend getting your tattoos done by a professional. However Vaseline is probably one of the worst things you could use to heal a tattoo with. My husband has been a tattoo artist for 21 years this year and he recommends to all of his customer that they use A&D ointment to heal their tattoo with. Wash your tattoo 3 to 5 times daily, then apply a thin layer of A&D ointment on the tattoo. Do this for for 5 to 7 days. Then let the tattoo dry up and finish healing. It will peel like a sunburn does. Dont pick at the tattoo for any reason. Just let it heal . I hope this helps. Good Luck !
OK don’t pop them anymore and you need stop using petroleum jelly its to moist and you are going to leech out alot of ink and it is going to look dull first wash it off and and pat it dry then get a clean paper towel and wet it with alcohol and put it on your tattoo do this about four times a day and only put a little of ointment/ bactrim /neosporin and take a clean paper towel and pat it and absorb the left over ointment
and with the ointment you should put it on about two times a say and after about a week you want to stop the ointment and use a lotion that is fragrance free and keep it from prolonged exposure from the sun and no tanning etc. for the UV rays will mess up your tattoo and always wash your hands before you do anything to your tattoo and after oh yes and when you wash it with soap you use your hand no wash rag and no picking or scratching if it starts to itch tap it not rub well more like a little slap to it
like all mentioned it could be an allergic reaction but sometimes Herpes can be anywhere on the body. Yes, I said Herpes. This virus isn’t just for the private area. Many don’t realize that a pimple may be harmless but herpes can resemble a pimple. Never pop anything on your body. A pimple or what seems to look like a pimple may in fact be something contigous, hives or infection. See a doctor or use cortisoids creme.
My tattoo artist recommends Aquaphor. Nothing else. All of my tattoos have healed very nicely. . . no peeling. I’d also recommend not doing homemade tattoos. . . not only is it unsanitary, but probably not as attractive as a professionally done tattoo.
Ok the first part of your question was confusing, but I used A&D ointment on my upper back tattoo and it was hard to reach so i pretty much just slathered it on, and apparently i used wayyyy too much because i got terrible bacne! So the vaseline or whatever might just be clogging your pores; use some astringent on the non-tattooed part of your skin
this is what i told someone else that had the same problem, cause i had it happen to me. . .
it’s just slightly infected, don’t use anything on it. let it dry out. and they will clear. for a week i was embarrassed to show my tatt cause i got those pimples, but they went away. you might have been smothering the tatt with the wrong lotion, not letting it breath. don’t fret. it will go away. you can still wash it, preferably with dial bar soap once in the morning and once at night and then nothing else til the tatt heals or is almost healed. it takes about 45 days for a tatt to completely heal.
