During this time, the tattoo may look blurry due to excess blood and/or plasma that may leave the skin. It may look like a blob of ink, but this is totally normal!
In a lot of cases, it's poor placement of the ink. If the ink is deposited too deep, then it bleeds into the fat tissue, casing it to look like a blob. It could be that the design is of poor quality. If the lines are too close, they will bleed together, causing it to again, look like a blob.
It's just the med tape that goes on tattoos nowadays. It's stores all the juices and ink that seep from the skin. She just left it on too long.
A patchy tattoo could be the result of bad technique; if the artist hasn't made sure the ink is deep enough to stay put. It could also be due to them not 'packing' the ink enough; certain ink colours, or areas of concentrated black, often need to be packed in quite a lot in order to create a solid area of colour.
How Tattoo Blowout Can Be Fixed. Unfortunately, once blowout occurs, there's nothing you can do to reverse it. In order to “fix” the blurry ink, you can try to correct it with additional tattooing, or opt to remove it altogether.
While a new tattoo can push out ink, along with blood and plasma, it typically does no harm and doesn't lead to a tattoo blowout. This leaking typically lasts no more than 48 hours. However, bruising from a new tattoo can make it look a little blurred or smudged as it goes through the healing process.
If you're allergic to tattoo ink, you may experience symptoms such as redness, swelling, itching, or bumps in the tattooed area. These symptoms can appear immediately or weeks after getting the tattoo. In severe cases, blisters or a rash may develop. Always consult a dermatologist for diagnosis.
Over-moisturising can lead to inflamed tattoos and potentially infection. Excess moisture can clog your skin's pores which prevents it from breathing, something that's important for your skin to heal. This can lead to breakouts on the skin that can damage the tattoo.
All tattoo ink migrates underneath our skin over time. If a tattoo is heavily detailed and is done too small, it will eventually turn into a black blob that is not recognizable.
What If My Tattoo Isn't Peeling? As normal as it is for them to peel, it's just as natural for them to not peel. Everyone's skin heals in its own unique way, so you may see tattoo peeling at a later time or not at all. Dry and normal skin types tend to peel more, while oilier skin may peel less.
Sure, you can get that fine line micro tattoo. It may look good for a year. But 5-6 years down the line it's going to be a blurry blob! Tattoos are for life.
If you've got a bit of tattoo bruising or tattoo swelling, it's just a sign that your body is healing by sending more blood to the affected area, it's not usually anything to worry about and it's very rare to have an allergic reaction. If you're concerned, go and see a doctor to put your mind at ease.
-- Ink migration / ink drift is rare, but is often seen in thinner skin areas, and is more common with black, blue, green and purple inks. This happens when the ink is deposited too far into the layers of skin and enters the sebaceous fat and spreads.
Tattoo ink migration is the result of the ink moving in the dermis, the second layer of the skin. This can be due to various factors such as improper depth, poor ink quality, and the natural aging of the skin.
It's normal for a tattoo to peel and lose a little bit of ink as your skin heals. Care for your tattoo diligently by keeping it clean, moisturized, dry, and out of the sun.
Granulomatous reactions
A foreign body reaction to pigment may cause raised red bumps at the site of the tattoo that are made up of epithelioid cells, lymphocytes and a few giant cells.
Persistent redness: Skin shouldn't stay red for weeks or start to darken or spread. Green or yellow fluid: Pus oozing from your tattoo is a sign of infection. Persistent swollen skin: Skin on or around the tattoo shouldn't look puffy for weeks, which indicates an allergy to tattoo ink.
Even though a tattoo blowout is permanent, there are ways you can hide it. Once the healing process is complete, you can either get the blown-out tattoo covered up with another tattoo, or you can get laser removal.
A blowout is usually described as “fuzzy” or “blurry.” It might even look like there's a puddle of ink in the wrong place, or that the tattoo is “bleeding” into the skin around a new tattoo. It will show up when an artist tattoos lines too deep in the skin during the tattooing process.
