Back progress. 3 sessions in. I will probably start a reaper back thread eventually. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

WTF ?! what is that even suppose to be ? is that a garage tattoo ? first thing to do is to NEVER go back to that scratcher again. 2nd thing to do is start researching a good cover-up artist to go to.,

I got this tattoo 5 days ago, and it’s progressively gotten a little redder. It is on my inner ankle and I’m on my feet a bit, but can’t find any other tattoos online like this. Is this normal or infection? Doesn’t hurt, isn’t warm, and doesn’t weep. Thank you!!

Hahaha! I’ve seriously seen better executed prison tattoos. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You never should have trusted him to put this horrible tattoo on you and you shouldn’t be trusting his medical advice now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lol, it’s a butterfly (flipped on the side). He said as long as it isn’t hurting it should be fine based on the inner ankle location and slow healing process. I’ll watch it for a few days and keep you all posted!

Hey, welcome. That's gonna be tricky to cover but, as mentioned, something big and bold will cover it completely. Cost might be your biggest obstacle.

having an ideal for a perfect design is going to set yourself up for disappointment. i've seen it happen often for first-timers, they carry this idea of the perfect tattoo for years and years and try to incorporate every single idea/detail that jumps in their head into the perfect tattoo to give it some idealistic meaning, to justify the tattoo to themself and others. that sets the artist up for failure if they try to cram all these dumb details into an undersized tattoo. And it will leave you disappointed because it will not match the idea of the perfect tattoo in your head. there is a degree of trust you need to have in the tattooer, so choose well and choose wisely - trust that this tattooer will design and make you a nice tattoo, with nice layout that fits your body, a good composition, proper execution and (also very important) a positive, exciting experience for you to remember how you popped your tattoo cherry. my advice - keep it simple and you should be able to articulate what you want in a couple words. be flexible and open to the tattooers interpretation of your concept.

i'm not going to pretend i understand post-prison or gang life...but i wish you luck so you can take your kid to the public pool one day and enjoy a normal life. cheers

Going to the Doc. Fingers crossed

there is definitely some localized redness in that one part. Is it hot to the touch? If yes, you may have an infection . . .

it will NEVER again look like it did the first 2 days it was done.

Takes 4-6 weeks to heal. You won't know what it's going to look like until then, but as @oboogie said, it looks fine.

The un fades tattoos. You should always minimize the time your tattoo is exposed to the sun. Then there is that whole skin cancer thing. 😉
