Infection — How to Catch It Early and What to Do
A fresh tattoo is an open wound, so some redness and soreness is normal — but a real infection is a different animal, and catching it early is the difference between a course of antibiotics and a serious problem.

This covers what a blowout actually is, why it happens, how to tell it from normal healing, whether it can be fixed, and how to avoid one in the first place.
