Pus Oozing, Tender, Warm To Touch. Done Tattoo. Infection?

I got a tattoo done four days ago. Theres one little area where it was leaking a bit I don't know if its plasma or pus its a whitish gooey liquid coming out. The area is alittle tender, and kinda warm, could be from me worrying over if its an infection or not. I'm not sure if this is from having clothing rub against it, to much or to little lotion or if its infected. The scab over it is kinda clearish and kinda yellow around the edges. Please get back to me as soon as possible
