Is Fluid Under the Second Skin Normal?

Answered by Sude ErdemTattoo artist in Los Angeles

Yes. A small amount of fluid under the second skin is normal during the first few days. It is usually a mixture of plasma, excess ink, and a small amount of blood.

If the amount becomes excessive, starts leaking outside the bandage, or the second skin opens enough to expose the tattoo, remove it and clean the area according to the aftercare instructions I give you.
