A member asked:
Burnt my leg and i have a tattoo that is only 10 months old in the same spot. the burn was initially scaly and felt rough; it formed a blister three days after the initial injury. will the ink cause infection? its second degree, so down to dermis?

Having a burn over a tattoo may result in an infection from the skin bacteria entering from the outside. The 10 month old tattoo will not be the cause of the infection/inflammation although some people have allergic reactions to the ink, especially red ink
