Hey guys,

 

So I just started a left sleeve with my artist and did my whole left forearm.  It’s been 4 days since the tattoo and it’s still very red, feels hot, feels tight, and is painful.  It’s not oozing and has no discharge.  It’s also not scabbing and has no flaking.  It just still seems pretty raw.  I texted my artist about it with pics and he seems to think it’s ok but I’m not so sure.  I’m going go go by and see him today to show it to him.  It just doesnt look like its healing properly, if at all.  What do you guys think?
