My tattoo:(

i got my first tattoo a few weeks ago. Every other tattoo place says to put bepanthen on their tattoos as that's what helps them heal. the place i went to said don't use it.(not telling me why) 2 days later it was in a mess, crusty..etc. sooo many people said to use it as it helps it heal. sooo my mother applied it for me. and it went even more custy and weeped permanitly, so much my tops were sticking to it i went back to the place and they ripped shit out of me for using it. so i have to wait until it completly heals, which could take months and get the colour fixed:( because it turned to scabs and took off some of the tattoo

nah you have to put bepanthen on straight away and also wrap it in cling wrap, tell your tat artist he should research on it all the great tat studios in america do it, i did it to mine and kept the cling wrap on for 4 days changing it every now and then, i never scabed and people still comment on how well preserved it is.
My freind didn't wrap or cream her's up and it scabed straight away.
your tat artist is a dick espiecially for blasting you.

You may also want to tell your tat artist that he just broke one of the ministry of health guidelines which is to tell client about proper aftercare.
Also he'll be in the shit when the new laws come in in about a year.
Hope your not going to be paying for the fix up!!

aparently the ink that they use actually reacts with it.
i won't be going back there so i'd rather pay someone else to fix it for me rather than getting them to f*ck it up again

thats some "proffesionals" for ya huh. Yup mine was done at my local, very clean n hygenic. I was instructed to cover my tattoo in cling wrap for at least 2-3 days and keep smothering it with the cream they gave me (tea-tree based) it healed fast and perfectly.

oh just so you know, the tattoo IS supposed to weep. its your lymphatic system reacting to what has been done to your skin. its natural.

it wasnt tha tattoo that weepd it was the scab that was formed from it

No Tattoo should weep that long, only if done to harsh or/and to DEEP.
A tattoo should only peal like a sun burn, you should of used the Bepanthen and that tattooist should know better.

how do i know? I tattoo @ Skin Deep Culture in Te Puke.

i completly stopd using anything on it and its heald now, i just need to get it fixed.
