If you are learning to tattoo, you must be apprenticing somewhere?. If not? You're a scratcher. Also, if you read the rules? We don't give tattooing advice here. It isn't what we do here.

Also, reported. Just no.

Jesus Christ. No. You're a scratcher. Stop doing this shit to yourself.

I'd suggest you'd just keep it clean and quit putting anything on it. It's called a dry heal. Looks like a good plan in your case.

YIKES. This is why it is best to go to the doctor if you have any question about such things. Glad you are on the mend.

You "did" this tattoo three days ago? Who did it? You or an actual artist? Either way, a blowout is a blowout. Nothing you can do to "fix" it.

Ignore other people. It looks nothing like a swastika. The end.

Worrying until you are sick at your stomach and thinking about covering up an unfinished cover-up is not normal or healthy,. That level of anxiety is very worrying, and it suggests to me there is an issue. This person says they have other tattoos, but it might be one tiny one somewhere. It doesn't mean they are equipped to handle an enormous tattoo on their arm. Any attempt to cover that up again will drive this person around the twist because it will not look better. So thanks for sharing your thoughts, but I stand by my comment.

No tattoo will be perfect. Just know that going in.

Please don't get anymore tattoos. People with your level of anxiety should never get tattooed. Covering up a cover up is going to make it worse because you're never going to stop obsessing. Just live with it for a while. You have to.

Quit staring at it. Just let it heal.

That's not an infection, but it could be a reaction to the red pigment, as @SStu said.

Welcome! Take the drawing to give the artist an idea, but please know he/she will redraw it and make tweaks to make it tattoo ready.

He doesn't have to play nice. 😂 The same questions over and over get a little draining. And newbies always think we're meanies. Nah. Just sick of the same newbie questions over and over and over and over. Search works really well in here. Every question has been answered two or three time over.

This. Imagine coming here, bitching about the opinions you get, and then changing your story. Yikes. 😂

Nah. He just speaks the truth. And people ask the same questions over and over a lot here instead of doing a quick search.

I'm as pale as a ghost, too. My tattoos definitely pop. 😂

I had the cutest little old lady come up to me in the supermarket right after I got my elbow done on my first sleeve (right arm). She went on and on about how pretty it was and even touched it. I told her thank you, but I told her not to touch it because it was still fresh. But she was so adorable and sweet.

I don't even think it is a good film about a rock band. it's soooooo bad.

Yeah. Sadly, it's almost entirely fictional and has nothing to do with Freddie. It's also poorly written and shockingly badly edited. I can recommend some books if you want to know more about Freddie and the real story.

Did you get it for yourself or for other people? Doesn't matter what anyone thinks. It's a nice tattoo. Enjoy it and get more tattoos.

I hated the film, and back when it came out, I spent ages outlining everything that was wrong with it because so many people who know nothing about Freddie and Queen loved it. In simple terms, it was shite. It didn't deserve a single Oscar. Most people have terrible taste in films for the most part, so I shouldn't have been surprised.

Don't get anymore tattoos for a while. You can't obsess over details and worry about what people think. Seriously. Just wait a while before you do anything else. I love Freddie Mercury, and the records they created when he was still around. I am not a fan of the other three guys and their botching of his memory, but I love Freddie.

No, you can't "erase" tattoos. That's not how it works.

Blowouts happen. Try not to let it upset you. It's just a tattoo, and it is part of you now.
