What to do when tattoo starts to seep?

Answer 1

If the seeping is excessive the most likely cause is an ointment you are using in aftercare. Too much ointment prevents the skin from breathing and hinders the healing process. Wounds need to breath in order to heal. Your skin will push out fluid in order to clear the skin of what is obstructing the air flow. Use minimal amounts of ointment, a little goes a long way with a tattoo. Hope that helps.
