Most likely you will bleed a little bit… but most people only bleed a tiny amount. The bleeding usually comes out as sweat like dots of blood or just lymph coming out of your skin. There are plenty of reasons why people bleed from this procedure and plenty of reasons that will determine how much they bleed.
Yes, it is completely normal. The very experienced tattoo artists will always ensure that as much ink is packed to ensure most of it remains. Even if excess ink is packed in your skin, and some comes out with the bleeding, it is perfectly normal and there is no need for you to worry.
A tattoo is a series of puncture wounds that carry ink into the different levels of the skin. At first, the tattoo may be swollen. There may be some crusting on the surface. It's normal for the tattoo to ooze small amounts of blood for up to 24 hours.
Oftentimes, the tattoo will only start to bleed after you are done with your session. Normally, your blood will begin to clot the wound prior to even exiting the tattooed region, but sometimes your tattoo will push out any excess plasma, blood, or ink to clear the area prior to clotting.
A few tips that can help prepare yourself to get tattooed:
-Don't take any aspirin or pain-killers that contain aspirin or ibuprofen, these thin the blood and promote excess bleeding which means a longer healing period and may take longer for the process of your tattoo.
"ALL tattoos bleed out over time," writes @fleshtattoos905. "Fine line is a trend… but it won't save you.
If the needle is going too deep into the skin, it can cause more trauma and damage to the skin than necessary, which can lead to more pain and bleeding. Another sign that a tattoo is too deep is excessive scabbing and peeling during the healing process.
A Tattoo needle penetrates 5 layers of the epidermis
That may sound like a lot of skin, but in reality it is only 1/16th of an inch, about 1-2mm. That's pretty tiny. It goes through five layers of the epidermis, through the dermal layer, and into the topmost layer of the dermis.
The longer you are able to keep it on, the more your tattoo will be able to heal while bandaged. During this time there will be a buildup of fluid (plasma, ink, blood) underneath the bandage—this is normal, and should stay contained within the Saniderm.
You will notice some ink/blood oozing underneath the bandage; it is NORMAL. If juicy bubble builds up, you may squeeze it out at the bottom in the shower. Or even puncture the bubble with a tiny pin and drain. Either way, please make sure to keep the area clean and safe for yourself and others.
Tattoo flu explained
So while you might be super chill mentally, your immune system might charge in like there's a four alarm fire. When the needle hits your skin, your pain receptors go into overdrive, giving you a nice jolt of adrenaline which then makes your ticker beat a bit faster.
The swelling around the tattooed area of your skin is mostly down to your body increasing blood flow to the area. This is in order to push more (immune system helping) white blood cells to the area to assist in fighting foreign bodies trying to enter the open wound.
The bottom line. It's nearly impossible to 100% guarantee you won't have a tattoo blowout after getting inked, but luckily if you do tattoo removal is the most effective way to get rid of it, fast.
Cleaning and excess water exposure
So never submerge a fresh tattoo underwater. Also, avoid excessive water exposure while showering. Our skin is like a sponge and it will absorb the water, which can damage the tattoo. When it comes to cleaning your new tattoo, make sure you do this several times a day.
Contrary to what you might expect, many people report that the shading hurts significantly less than the outlining of the tattoo. If you've already made it through your line work, pat yourself on the back. You've likely conquered the most painful part already.
About 1/16th of an inch into the skin. Not so scary, right? The tattoo machine's needle aims to deposit the ink in a region of 1.5 millimeters to 2 millimeters below the surface of the skin.
Depending on the pressure of the ink, the angle of the needle, the closeness of skin to vein, it can inject into a vein, or ruptured the vein causing bruising and the added possibility of infection.
One of the most important things to look for in a good tattoo artist is technique. A bad artist will simply scribble their design onto your skin with little regard for clean lines or symmetry. A good artist, on the other hand, will take their time to create a precise and beautifully executed design.
A traumatic tattoo is when foreign bodies become forcibly embedded in the dermis and create a permanent tattoo.
Certain tattoo styles that use black and/or grey ink, such as Tribal tattoos, Greyscale tattoos, and American Traditional tattoos (as well as bold lettering or Zodiac tattoos) are known to age well. These different tattoo styles feature bold, detailed linework that is deeply injected into the skin.
A: Yes, fine line tattoos can fade over time, just like any other type of tattoo. However, there are several factors that can influence the rate and extent of fading, such as the location of the tattoo, the type of ink used, and how well the tattoo is cared for after it is done.
Small does not equal less pain. That's right when it comes to getting a new tattoo fine lines are more painful than bold traditional. Upside is, most fine line tattoos are smaller. And smaller needle sizes are used mostly for the outline at the beginning of the tattoo, when you are fresh and ready for the pain.
