   It may be your tattooist. Check this page out on my website, which explains in detail the tattooing process: http://www.nyartman0o0com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=53&Itemid=59 Most professional and licensed tattooists give out good tattoo aftercare instructions so I won't bother you with that here, but if you visit that link you will better understand how tattooing works and also why tattooists that tattoo either too shallow or too deeply can cause the types of issues you described. There is a great article written by tattooist Tom Harley in Cali. entitled "How to make a solid black tattoo very black. Is it the ink?": http://www.tattooartistsguild0o0com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=50:tom-harley-black-ink&catid=38:tattooing-tips&Itemid=55. Although the article deals with black tattoos, the information he gives can absolutely be applied to color tattoos. This should give you more than enough information to address your question. After reading through all of this you'll understand why I think it's the tattooist and not the ink or any after care issues. I would recommend you find a more experienced tattoo artist. By the way the absolutely best tattooing inks come from Texas, those inks are Unique Inks and they are a trade secret I highly recommend them but when it's all said and done it's the tattooist not the inks.

   Well, you messed up by usind A&D, i used it on my first tattoo, and it faded extremly quick. And i went back to get it fixed and everyone in there told me do not use A&D use aquaphor for the first week, then use Lubriderm unscented lotion for the rest of the healing time.remember: NO A&D!!!!!! Source(s): used it oce, and never again.

   loads of ink and gunk and stuff is supposed to come out. and that tattoos fade a little in the first few days, just use e45 cream mixed with savlon.
