A tattoo blowout occurs when the tattoo artist presses too hard when applying ink to the skin, causing the ink to be sent below the top layers of skin where tattoos belong. This results in the ink spreading out in a layer of fat below the skins surface, creating a blurry or fuzzy appearance. Tattoo blowouts can occur when the tattoo needle goes too deep into the skin, or when the tattoo artist uses too much power with the tattoo machine. They can also happen when the skin is overworked, or when the tattoo recipient moves around too much during the tattooing process.

Tattoo blowouts are not a serious problem that can harm your health, but they can greatly affect the appearance of your tattoo. Some people experience mild blowouts, while in other cases, blowouts are more extreme. There are three main ways to fix a tattoo blowout: correcting with more tattooing, blowout cover-ups, and correcting with a laser. Correcting with more tattooing or blowout cover-ups require expertise and good tattooing skills, so its important to choose an experienced tattoo artist to make sure you dont have another blowout. Laser therapy can also help reduce the appearance of a tattoo blowout.

In summary, a tattoo blowout is a noticeable place where tattoo ink has been placed incorrectly in the skin, causing the ink to spread out and blur the design. While tattoo blowouts cant necessarily be prevented, there are steps you can take to minimize your risks. If you have a tattoo blowout, there are several things you can do to reduce its appearance, such as choosing the right placement for your tattoo and correcting it with more tattooing, blowout cover-ups, or laser therapy.
