I have a newish tattoo that is 6 weeks old and it is also still looking shiny and wrinkled over the lines. It is a simple wave design on my inner ankle.
I am also worried about whether it is scarred or just slow healing.
Do you have an update about yours ended up healing over time? Did the appearance get better?
Did your tattoo eventually settle in to the skin? Mine is also 6 weeks old and looks similar to what you described – kind of wrinkled and glossy over the lines and slightly raised.
Hoping that it eventually heals. Maybe it’s just slower?
Sorry to piggyback off this thread, but I have a newish small tattoo on my inner ankle that is now 6 weeks old and still has that wrinkled skin over the lines and is shiny and slightly raised. Is this normal for it be taking longer to heal? I am hoping that the ink eventually settles into the skin for a matte finish. I have been following the aftercare instructions to a tee.
Any advice?
Hi Jessica! I wish I had an answer for you, but just wanted to say that I am in a very similar situation. My small wave tattoo is also on my inner ankle and it has been 6 weeks for me, and the skin still looks wrinkled and is raised and glossy over the lines.
Maybe this is a slower healing area of the body? I am really hoping that it eventually settles into the skin. How is it looking for you now that it’s been some time? Did it ever look better?
