One day old foot tattoo concern

[Silvip09]

I got a foot tattoo yesterday. The same artist who did my first tattoo did it, and I was super happy with the result. My foot is very achy, but I’m nervous about how much thicker the lines appear today... I will be very unhappy if they stay that way... I’m hopeful it’s just a part of the healing process... the tattoo is also very raised, so my skin is clearly still agrivated. What do you guys think?

this looks absolutely normal for the healing process, and yes, that's what it's going to look like. no tattoo ever looks exactly like it did when it was just applied. I think you need to adjust your expectations for what tattoos can look like.

enjoy it, it looks nice!

Just relax and do your usual aftercare and let it heal. You couldn't change anything now either way. But those lines probably won't get any thiner anymore. The skin on the ankle is know to tend to blowouts, so probably not the best placement for such a small and filigree tattoo.

Thanks guys! I’m a little sad, but I’m sure it will grow on me that way too :) happy Easter!

You don't know what it looks like until it heals.
