IMO you won't find two little twigs that are mirror copies of each other in nature,IMO it's looks great the way it is ! I think it looks better the way it is than it would if each side was identical.

I think symmetry is often overrated! For what it is, it looks fine to me.

Go see a doctor.

Go see a doctor. This isn't normal, but there is no way of knowing what is causing it.

It's fine,it's a tattoo.

This update probably won't matter to anyone but I'll post it anyway haha. I saw another dermatologist who doesn't believe it's an allergic reaction because I already have grey tattoos and allergies to grey ink are extremely rare, also tattoo allergies typically represent reactions on the surface of the skin, not swelling underneath like mine. Infection is also unlikely because the reaction is localized only to the area where the needle hit the skin. He believes that the tattooing was perhaps too aggressive which created a deep tissue wound which caused excessive inflammation, thereby preventing proper healing and perpetuating more chronic inflammation like a vicious cycle. I started using a powerful steroid ointment today and the swelling has gone down considerably. Hopefully by keeping the inflammation under control the deep layers of the skin will heal properly.

Got a shark on my leg from Matt Howse at Idle Hand, and the next day my brother got a similar shark on his right shoulder. Matt's sharks are the best, and he's a great guy. Turns out we went to the same high school. What are the odds?

BTW, these are why he and Claire are in Japan!
