Posted: Wed 1st Oct 2008, 11:16 pm ok sorry but didnt know where to put this! just bit stressed..
had a tatoo friday, and all he said to do was not get it wet much etc so ive just bin putting cling film on and vaseline as its water proof when in bath, although i think its still got wet.
now i have like raised bumps on my tatoo, cant see them but i can feel them, they feel how a spot would feel.
anyone know what this could be or if somethings wrong?

Posted: Wed 1st Oct 2008, 11:32 pm Nothing to worry about, keep an eye on it of course just like normal, but every tattoo scabs because it's the skin healing.
Mine did it, it should be fully healed in 2-3 weeks.
Try not to scratch it either.

I had a shower last night and tonight and its been fine, haven't covered it to go for a shower either ust left it.
The lumps are probably just scabbing, don't pick them though.

Posted: Thu 2nd Oct 2008, 8:10 pm it sounds like you've been to a scratcher, same thing happened to my best mate, she had very bad raised scabs and they left a massive patch in the tattoo.
vaseline is awful to use, it dries out the tattoo and getting it wet is fine, its always good to give it a good soak in the bath, it needs to be cleaned!
This my war baby, go home.
Posted: Fri 3rd Oct 2008, 12:41 pm I got told to wash mine when I had my first one, I've done the same with all the others and they've turned out good.
Well except for the one I'm getting covered 
Bepanthen is amazing stuff though, mine healed in less than a week using that.
The bumps don't sound very promising though, wait until it's fully healed and see what it's like then.
And so I say I don't love you,
Though it kills me

Posted: Fri 3rd Oct 2008, 3:23 pm bath it with warm soapy water, dont rub just dap keeping it clean, use tattoo goo available from ebay or most tattoo shops, keep it aired keep out of direct sunlight, raising of the skin is different to everyone, depends hoe the skin reacts its like grazing your skin on a railing or something your skin raises. when it scabs DO NOT PICK THEM let then drop off naturally, keep dabbing with warm soapy water to help.
both mine on my neck raised skin, totally normal. still wouldnt trust your tattooist though.
