My tat is oozing alot not bleeding or anything like that, but seriously dripping down my leg, my tattoo artist said to change bandages alot but he also said i was supposed to keep the bandaging thing going for two weeks. Thats not what other websites say. Does anyone know how long the bandaging should stay on?

How long ago did you get it? if it's been a while and still oozing, you might want to have it looked out.
Anyways pretty much keep it moist and something on it all the time. Like bag balm. It needs to get air. and wash it GENTLY, with water and a bit of anti-bacterial soap.
Thanks guys!!!
No lupus will not affect your tat, my mother has lupus and tats. You need to uncover it wash it and keep something on it to keep it from drying out. It shouldn't form a scabby scab.But it needs air. Two days later it shouldn't still be oozing.
You get this done at a professional shop?
This or Aquafor/walgreens variant.
I actually used triple antibiotic for quite a while. It works fine. Only problem is most have an anti-scarring chemical in it which will suck some of the ink out. Oops.
Unless you have to cover it to keep debris off of it, usually only keep the bandage on for an hour or two after finishing. The skin needs to breathe in order to heal properly.
I got it done from a professional tattoo artist but he is also my friend and we were at his house. He used clean tools and was very professional. Today its not oozing at all. Good to hear my lupus wont affect it.
I concur.
my interwebz says ur lying.
