Typical signs of infection include:
Inflammation
Swelling
Localized tenderness
Pus/Bloody discharge
Fever
Pain radiating from the site more than 48 hours after the procedure
Slightly inflamed tattoo.If you experience any of these symptoms with a fresh tattoo, a visit to the doctor is in short order. Most infections are easily treated with an antibiotic and resuming aftercare procedures. However, significant infections can result in blood poisoning if they are allowed to progress for too long.
DO NOT APPLY LOTION!!! Keep the area clean and dry. Go see your doctor for evaluation. The infection can get worse and spread systemically through your blood. This is known as sepsis. Do not waste time.
