What can I do for an infected tattoo?

Answer by  shoog (38)

First I would try Neosporin, a salve for infections on the skin. Soaking the infected area in warm salty water a couple of times a day can do wonders. If all of this fails, hte infection may be severe enough to see a doctor. In most cases that I have seen the wateer and salve work.

See a Plastic surgeon asap. Dr will excise the infected tissue, start antibiotics. Change the bandage diligently every day. There is no other way to handle this situation.

This should be looked at by a doctor. He can tell you if it's infected by a needle or a staph infection. Do not call the tattoo parlow for help.
