Ankle Tattoo blistering and painful

I just got a tattoo on my ankle fixed. When I first got it, I got it at home and it was very crappy. So I went to get it fixed at a tattoo shop 4 days ago, My ankle is still very swolen and hurts to even walk on it. It even looks as if there are blisters in the tattoo. I have other tattoos, but I dont remember them ever hurting this bad! I am curios if this is normal for an ankle tattoo, or if I should get it looked at?!

Answer #1

Problems like that are not normal. Did the tattoo parlor give you cleaning instructions? I would go to the tattoo parlor first, get the advice there. If you don’t feel like they gave you enough information, find out the brand of ink they use and take that information to a doctor.

Best of luck
