Did my tattoo artist go too deep?

[CrazyConfused]

I just recently got my first tattoo last week, and the minute I left the shop I noticed the lettering and heart on my tattoo looked kind of carved into my skin rather than tattooed. Now that I have had this tattoo for about a week I can notice alot of the ink is fading away and the lettering is looking patchy. I feel like the tattoo artist went abit too deep, deep enough to carve into my skin. What should I do???? I've been caring for it (washing and moisturizing 4x a day) like I was told to and it's not getting any better.

 

Ps; the rest of my tattoo looks normal, it's just the lettering that looks too deep.

You’ll have to wait until it fully heals and see what it looks like.
Worst case scenario is that it might need a touch up.
I’m not seeing anything to worry about there.

As @gtrjunior said, too early to tell. I wouldn't go back to that tattooer or shop under any circumstances though, that artwork and line work is really rough. If you need a touch-up after it's healed, find someone really good.

That doesn’t look too good.  A simplistic tattoo like that shouldn’t have so many areas of redness. It could be “too deep” but more likely “too much”, meaning too many multiple passes over the same area can really damage the skin and also leave the client more prone to infection, which I would watch out for in those red areas. The patchy lines could mean the artist’s hand speed was too fast, which usually causes the artist to overcompensate by going back over too many times.

My tattoo also looks carved into my skin just got it done yesterday it’s lettering some of it is raising but some still looks kind of deep. I noticed it yesterday after I got home and cleaned it.
