Just got my first tattoo and I want to make sure this is not infected. its a very small area, maybe an inch long. Not excessively large. It’s been 9 days since I got my tattoo but as you can see from the picture it does have a slight green hue to it and seems to be “cracked.” No itching, burning, pain feeling whatsoever. I just want to make sure this is not infected before it’s too late. If it is infected what steps do i need to take? https://im1.shutterfly.com/ng/services/mediarender/THISLIFE/010003833315/media/40992812897/medium/1463333730/enhance

Not super concerned as it has been seeming to go away. and its not really the green scab that worries me as much as its cracked down and you can see the pink under the skin.

Give it a few months. Tattoos take a long time to fully heal.

I don’t know. I can’t even tell what it is suppose to be just looks like a blob. Give it awhile to heal then post a pic of it.
