Default Re: Tattoo bruising, What are causes and what should I do?

yeah i tell people that if they use a&d at all to just use for a day or so, then switch to a lotion like freagence free cocoa butter or a water based freagence free lotion.

a&d can smother the skin not allowing it to breathe, and your tattoo could literally sweat the ink out. vasoline shouldn't be used at all in the healing process.

i'd say about 3-4 weeks till its fully healed. after its healed you could hide the blowouts with minor shading inside the piece,like just go along the border of the entire inside of the outline with some shading.
