Tattoo Ink Bleeding Day After. I had no scabbing, redness, or raised anything. Tattoo aftercare can be confusing, especially if it is a person’s first tattoo.
Posted by asherah at 2:35 pm on september 22, 2006 the shirt i wore when i got my first tattoo still has a little black lizard foot print on it, though the rest of the tattoo didn't bleed through. I got tattooed today, pretty heavy solid black and i currently have my tattoo wrapped up. A tattoo rash can appear at any time, not just after getting new ink.
I have had my tattoo for about 14 hours now.
The first day had the blood, plasma, and a tiny bit of ink leak, but nothing is swollen. It prevents the stinging pain that hot water would cause on your fresh tattoo, and it prevents your pores from opening too wide. Heat coming off of the tattoo. Oh, and yes, the bleeding ink is quite normal when you have the bandage taped on for the first day.
