The first image just looks like it hasnt fully healed. My tattoos have had moments where things didnt look right but they always ended up cleaning themselves up during healing.
The second image does look like a bruise. Ive never been bruised like that before. It will be easier to know what you are dealing with once the bruise goes away.

Nice! Tattoos are addicting. I remember wanting to be fully covered after I got my first one. Who knows if I ever will be. Im trying to avoid more ribs due to the pain.

Everyone heals differently. I’ve had a few tattoos take quite a while to fully heal. But with some patience it will be worth the way

I definitely like the artist! Good work!

Hey and welcome!

I have worse tattoos than this…..the bottom face is super cool

Yeah definitely need a better pic. Better lighting and angle

I’m blank….good luck! I’d go ask a Tattoo artists

Yeah I’ve had tattoos completely heal in 3 weeks and some have taken up to 2 months. My shin is nothing but bone. No meat whatsoever and my shin took forever to heal. I had doubts during the healing process if I would scar but with enough time it all evened out. Just be patient and don’t pick at it!

Grew a face pimple today

Looks like the piece is on your forearm close to the wrist. There’s not much room to work with. Lacking good ideas…..

It looks normal to me. I’ve been worried about a few of my tattoos in the past and once they fully healed they turned out just right. Most my tattoos take at least 2 weeks to shed scabs and peel so I would just give it some time.

Yeah this looks normal to me. My shin did this in spots where it scabbed and was more raised than other places. Can’t tell at all now. U should be fine!

I have known some Tattoo artist who will do a tattoo from an image that the client brings in. My current artists will only Tattoo things that she creates. So I think it depends on the artist.
