Tattoo Ink Bleeding Over Time. So if you're concerned that your new ink might fade, blur, or stretch out. Tattoos tend to fade over time.
This makes it difficult to determine whether or not the artist is at fault. The tattoo artist normally puts a clean bandage over the tattoo to absorb the discharge and to protect it from any external infections. Just like with the formation of other wounds from cuts or gouges, a tattoo is an open wound which needs to heal and knit over time.
Tattoos take time to heal, but if you’re having strange symptoms, you may have an infection or an allergy to tattoo ink.
My tattoo is almost entirely healed (its been almost two weeks), but there is this ink colored cloud around the tattoo, almost as if the area is bruised or as if excess ink has been smudged lightly around the tattoo. Many people go to get a tattoo without a lot of information on what a freshly drawn tattoo looks or eve feels like. This will usually happen if you had a particularly long session and if you had your body inked fairly recently. Only leave the bandage on for 5 hours at most, i would go with taking it off as soon as you get to your house after getting the tat done.
