Hi Lyme, be sure to contact your Tat artist. They can help you with what is normally expected and any care suggestions or if they suggest immediate medical care. Just take care and you better be posting some of those tat pics when you are healed! ; )

Definately don't use the same healing method for a tattoo as piercings! Especially not soaking.
And I would always talk to a tattoo artist be fore the doctor if there is any problems because doctors are very often against tattoos and might give you treatment that could damage the tattoo. The tattoo artist has most definately seen and heard about any problems that you might have and should know what to do or tell you to see a doctor if needed if it's a good artist.
My newest tattoo felt like that for the first day or two. It was in a very sensitive spot in the elbow pit but it is fine. Just felt a lot more sore then my other tattoos for a longer period of time.

I have several Samoan, Tongan and Native Hawaiian patients who tattoo themselves heavily at home starting adolescence and I think it's beautiful and I believe it is an art form. As a doctor who cares for patients who tattoo often, I have seen maybe more than my share of infected tattoos, hypersensitivities and allergies. The only time I am ever against it is when people recycle needles that have been previously used on someone else, for obvious reasons.
To the OP and everyone else who gets tattoos, I would just like to say that it is unusual for a doctor to be against tattooing in general. Even if your doctor had a personal bias against it, it should not matter if they are professional. I am not sure where EvaRut got the idea that a doctor might prescribe treatment that would ruin a tattoo, but I hope it does not dissuade you from seeking medical help. Honestly, I can't think of a single medication or treatment that would ruin a tattoo. In fact, I can only think of a tattoo getting ruined from scarring from not seeking medical help in time. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
