Tattoo Bubbling And Cracking. Dont disturb the healing process thats going on in your skin let the excess skin fall off naturally. How Does Bubbling Happen Bubbling happens when water is trapped within the scab.
Little red bumps around your new tattoo usually mean you are using a cream too heavy for your skin which is clogging the hair follicles or your applying too often. Tattoo bubbling increases your risks of damaging your tattoo and getting an infection. In worse situations it can also be because of an infection that can prevent the scab from completely establishing itself and forming fully on.
The scab is most likely split apart and broken due to dryness and trauma.
Ointment application should be at least 2 times a day after washing for 3 to 5 days until the peeling of the tattoo starts to peel. The tattoo drying or cracking happens because of a lack of moisture. The reason water becomes trapped is due to lotion being applied to the tattoo before the scab is dry. Marmur says that blisters that form after getting a new tattoo are a sign of inflammation when the healing process begins.
