Tattoo infection

Question

Tattoo infection

Asked for Female, 29 Years

I have had a small tattoo done on my lower arm 5 days ago and it looks infected. Yesterday the tattoo started to bubble up after applying Tribiotic cream recommended by the artist, a yellowish goo started to leak out. Today the scab is hard, dry and yellowish, it cracks when I move around. Minimal pain, the area is slightly red, no swelling. I am not able to cover my arm and go to the doctor as this may worsen the situation. Is there a way to obtain an assessment and/or antibiotics online?
