Is my tattoo scarring? Should I be worried?

This is my first tattoo, had it for 2.5 weeks. Been keeping up with aftercare thoroughly. From what I’ve read I’m going through the “milky phase” of my tattoo but in two parts(parts circled) it’s not as much of a milky, hazy white. Instead it’s pinkish red and I’m worried they are scars forming. Do they look like scars? Can they be touched up? Or do they even need to be touched up at all, and after they heal will the ink show through? I’m super paranoid about this since it’s my first one. Also my artist is actually out of the country right now and isn’t answering his phone which makes things tough.

It takes at least 3-4 weeks for most tattoos to heal and for you to see what you've really got. As long as those circled spots don't get hot with inflamed skin you should be ok. They might just be where the scab got knocked off or something. Aside from that, you're just going to have to be patient and let it finish healing.
