Im having similar issues sadly. Thanks for the post. Sat almost 12 hours its my biggest piece on my thigh and its giving me a lot of problems. I have had other tattoos and caring for it the same as the others. I cant even walk right now. It’s been 12 days now and mine is exactly like you described. I think it was just too much ink in one sitting for me. It measure about 9″x13″ Now i have hope i wont loose my leg. This artist is good my husband uses him and never had a problem. I think i just shouldnt have sat for that long.
