Faded new tattoo

[Dumbo]

Hi this is a pretty basic question and I know this is the best place to ask this. I had this 7inch tattoo on my forearm done  last week and Im not very please withe the outcome when it started healing. Attached the pics here. wanna know if its just me or the tattoo isnt really healing properly. The first pic would  the fresh one, second would be third day and the last would be after a week with an ointment that my tattoist recommended. Its ink armour btw.

A tattoo is never as dark as it is the day you walk out of the shop. It takes 4 -6 weeks to fully heal, so wait until then before you make a decision on what to do next.

That's what a tattoo with no outline looks like.

yep ! that's  why watercolor tattoos don't last either.

Oh, my. I would be asking questions, too. While it is too soon to tell the final outcome, I don't think it will ever look like the photo from day one (just my opinion and I could be wrong).

Thanks for your inputs guys! this is exactly my point, i would understand a lil difference but not this much. I didnt expect the design to stand out, i didint expect it to be this worse either.

Doesn't look like the tattooist got a lot of ink in there, but the design itself isn't conducive to long-lasting clarity.
