I got this tattoo on thursday (so like 4 days ago) and took off the secondskin this evening because it started smelling a little (I thought it was just from sweat because it's been really hot here the past few days).

But as you can see part of my tattoo is red (it's also hot to the touch, at least compared to the rest of the tattoo) and feels very sore. There's also a very tiny bit of liquid coming out of it, but it's clear and odourless.

To be safe, I'm going to the doctor tomorrow morning and letting him evaluate it but I also wanna hear other people's opinions.

I've never had an infected tattoo before so idk how to tell whether it's infected or just healing 😭 Any help would be greatly appreciated !!
