It sounds like your tattoo artist had a heavy hand and scarred you in some areas. You may want to try some moisturizer or oils to massage it daily to see if it helps. you may find some scar reducing moisturizers out there. other than that there isn’t much you can do About it. If you go to dermatologist they wouldn’t have many options without risking to damage the tattoo. Good luck. .

If pain is what you are worried about I would suggest using numbing creams you can buy on amazon. They do work greatly. but if you want to change the design, call or stop by at the stop and talk to them. I’m sure you’re not the only one changed their mind. 2 weeks is more than enough time for them to work with you on a new design. My tattoo artists only drew up what I wanted the day that I was there to be tattooed. you wanna be sure of what you want before it’s on you. Or you can just keep getting more and more like I have. Good luck.

Hello everyone, After having a ten year break I got another tattoo 2 days ago. It’s on my right side of shin/calf and goes from ankle to almost to the knee. He applied saniderm right away and asked me to keep it on for 3 full days. I will remove it tomorrow. He told me to use balm he gave me afterwards. He also said not to work out for couple of days. now I have questions -I have been reading online and it is suggested to apply another saniderm and keep it for 6-7 days. Should I ? - can I work out starting tomorrow after I remove the saniderm or before ? I do spin bike hour a day at home. - if I remove saniderm tomorrow and keep it balmed, can I start working out daily afterwards? I can keep it clean in home settings and clean it afterwards. thanks everyone for your input. It’s been so long since I got a tattoo.
