Don't look at it under a microscope. Seriously. No tattoo is perfect. Your skin isn't a piece of paper. There's nothing wrong with that tattoo, but I would seriously evaluate your expectations. I don't mean this in an unkind way, but if you are expecting perfection, don't get any more tattoos because you'll never achieve it. Step back and look at the big picture, you have a nice tattoo, I'd just enjoy it.

I've been wanting this for years and as it's my first, my expectations were probably not realistic. But I still love it and really liked the artist, too. 
I appreciate your insight and candor. 
 

Any tattoo can have blowouts. Thinner skin and  older skin are more prone to them, even the best artists have them.
Do you have any pics?

Just because the stupid phuckwad's first unintelligible post is shilling his $hitty web site doesn't mean he's a spammer ... does it??? 

LOL  WTF are you even trying to say ?   #1 try to post something that even makes a little sense at all ! #2 don't post pathetic useless web sites. #3 go slither back under your rock

This is not a forum for scratchers. This is a forum for tattoo enthusiasts. Please read the forum rules. No questions on HOW to tattoo.

People do it all the time. Get what YOU like, it’s your body.

Just get the tattoo. I don't understand the question? 

I have this on my knee ditch

too late ? not sure what you mean, it will be there  every halloween for a very long time,
 and if you like a certain style tattoo, it's never "out of date"

WTF are you saying ? and don't post crappy websites like that here please.

Go the F*** away you scummy spammer.

Yes, I read about it. There isn’t a single scientific study that supports that. It’s the same ink that’s used in America. I’ll say again, if there was anything toxic about that ink, with 66 MILLION tattooed people in America, we’d know.

@Dangave good advice. It takes 4- 6 weeks to heal, longer if it went in rough. If it itches, you might try a cold pack, but DON’T scratch it.
Good luck.

Hi, you should be washing it with antibacterial or antimicrobial soap a few times a day anyway, and yes, after only 3 days it wil be sore and oozing a little, it's an injury to your skin, after washing it, gently dry it with a clean paper towel and apply a VERY light coat of something like cocoa butter or aveeno lotion,don't scratch it.

I can't tell from the pics, but it takes 4-6 week to heal a tattoo, longer if it went in rough. Nothing you can do until it heals, so just enjoy your favorite adult beverage or edible and chill out. Worst case scenario is you have it touched up.

Just don't. You aren't in charge here. So do not.

Are you a new moderator? I didn't think so. Maybe you think that 14 posts in a year and a half gives you the right to set rules for the forum?
Read what was written, "Kept finding conflicting stuff online regarding keeping it moisturised" Not sure how that translates into some kind of reasoning that he should drown it.
Also, there is a handy ignore feature on this forum. If you don't like my posts, please feel free to use it.

Also, quit drowning it in Aquaphor or whatever you are using. Just let it dry heala at this point.
