from what was described i would assume ( and i know that assumptions are the mother of all fuck-ups ) that you were 'leaking' large amounts of plasma. this could be due to overworking of the area, followed up by applying too much petroleum based products, and or water logging during the aftercare. You have to let your skin heal itself. Anything you apply to the surface is either going to help or hinder the process, but regardless of what you put on, the skin is going to do the healing. i tend to avoid petroleum altogether, during and after the tat.
