First Post, Brown Tattoo is Red???

[lavendermayfield]

My name is Lavender. I’m from Florida, and this is my first post. 
 

I recently got a small tattoo in brown ink, and I know for certain the ink used was brown as I watched the artist as he was tattooing me. However, it’s been almost a day and the ink has yet to look brown. Instead, it’s a vibrant red color and I don’t see how this is possible. The skin isn’t red or hot to the touch, so I’m hoping to get advice on whether or not the tattoo is truly brown or if something happened.

Tattoos take 4-6 weeks to heal. Longer if they went in rough. Relax and let it heal.
