I was wondering if there’s any real risk involved in getting a tattoo if I already have quite a few moles scattered across my body. Is there a possibility that tattooing an area where I don't currently have a mole could somehow trigger a new one to grow or cause other issues?
Dankešn 😁

I honestly don't think it matters. Once that tattoo fully heals up, it shouldn't be an issue. Like, whether a mole shows up later or not—that’s just life. If one pops up, it pops up, and if the ink is dark enough, you probably wouldn't even notice it anyway. But, if you're already seeing something suspicious growing right now? Then yeah, maybe skip the needle altogether. It's better to play it safe. Just my two cents, though.☕

Roger Rodriguez said:Are you still keeping the plastic wrap on it? If the skin can't breathe and you apply a layer of Aquaphor that's even slightly too thick, you could end up with a rash. That can get itchy and look pretty bad, not to mention it might actually mess with the tattoo itself.

So I went to see the doctor. He was basically like, "It's not red, so it's fine, just let it heal," but it's still there. Just these tiny little dots... nothing crazy, though.
And about the wrap thing... nah, I haven't been using it. My artist told me not to bother unless it's an absolute emergency—like if I have to go somewhere dusty or something. Otherwise, skip it. I haven't really used it much anyway; maybe just for a couple of hours the first day. Honestly, I think it might be the ointment. You were right, it's itching and I've definitely got that rash. Here's the deal: I apply enough so the tattoo looks shiny and doesn't get those weird white patches from the cream. I spread it out as much as I can. Is that overkill or what??🙂

I honestly don't even know... I mean, it’s not covering the whole tattoo, just a little bit near the top. If it were some kind of widespread rash, wouldn't it be all over the place? Right?? My tattoo is about 12 inches long, but there's only this tiny 2-inch patch where I've got these... how do I put this... little bumps.

Hey there, newbie here... just dropped in specifically because of this thread..
So, basically... I got a new tattoo about five days ago. Everything was going smooth until two days back. Now, this super itchy rash is starting to pop up on one part of the ink. Honestly, as soon as I feel that itch, I already know another little bump is gonna show up soon. :/ It’s weird. The tattoo covers most of my forearm—it's a five-letter piece—but the rash is only hitting the first letter near my elbow. It's spreading, but strictly within that one letter, though I am seeing one or two tiny spots on the next letter over. It looks like a bunch of little pimples. I can't tell if there's any pus since the ink is in the way, but I'm thinking it's just a standard rash. I actually ran out to the drugstore today and grabbed some baby Vaseline because I read online that maybe Aquaphor was causing issues, but I doubt a change in ointment is gonna fix this. Has anyone dealt with something like this? How did you get rid of it? Thanks in advance... this is kind of urgent, I really don't want it to wreck the tattoo.. thanks..🙂
