Signs That Your Tattoo is Infected

Although tattoos are cool looking, they are at a high risk of becoming infected. Tattoos make tiny holes in the surface of the skin to deposit ink. These punctures can easily become infected if bacteria is able to make its way under the skin. Following the instructions provided by your tattoo artist will help reduce your chances of developing an infection. However, factors such as unsterile equipment and improper technique can also increase your chances of developing an infection.

Signs of an infection include:

• Itching or swelling around the tattoo
• Pain
• Discharge from the tattoo
• Redness on the skin
• Fever
