Tattoo Ink Bleeding Into Skin. This phenomenon occurs after the deep injection of pigment ink into the hypodermis, as confirmed by biopsies of the blurry area that reveal tattoo pigment in the dermis and hypodermis. But, for the most part, scarring under a tattoo can be tricky to identify because the ink will distort the skin.
A tattoo blowout will cause the ink to look blurry and smudged on the surface of the skin. The ink is intended to be put into the dermis of the skin, and when it goes into the hypodermis, a blowout is almost a guarantee. It can happen to an area that has experienced a lot of weight loss/gain in short/excessive periods of time (hence the common problem area of the inside of the arm).

I think it is a combination of my age, 72, and the tattoo artist’s lack of experience. Once the blood dissipates, the ink is still there. Tattoos are formed by piercing the skin and leaving ink in the dermis using tattooing needles. My husband got a tribal piece on his shoulder and neck now right on his caller bone the in looks like its coming out of the outline into the skin.
