Healing/fading

[Luvbites96]

This is my 5th tattoo, but first bigger black/grey/negative space tattoo. I got this done 5 days ago and have followed my artist recommendation on after care, and I'm used to fading happening as its healing because no tattoo looks the same healed. But this is starting to look really blotchy. I've never had this issue with any of the other tattoos I have. Don't know if its because of me and my skin, the ink, or his skill level. Any advice?? My other pieces big pieces are color, fiance said its can happen with black tattoos. Posted a fresh photo after it was done and a picture of it now.

Tattoo take 4-6 weeks to heal. You won't know what it looks like until then. Sit back, relax, there is nothing you can (or should) do until it heals.

I have a John R. Cash tattoo, too. I had the pleasure to meet him.

Just let it heal.
