it actually looks normal to me for only 9 days,give it 6 weeks to heal.
different parts of our bodies heal differently,our skin varies a lot on each part of our body.
well ok , IMO it's not a very good tattoo overall.it looks like a scratcher did it.
it's not crisp line work, the shading is not applied correctly, the transitions from one image to another and even within each image is not smooth,there is not enough contrast.
sorry,but you asked.
well sure, if the artist has to add to already tattooed areas for a second session, of course there has to be at least a month between sessions. If that's what you are asking.
well I IMO , if you are that concerned about how a tattoo will look in 5 years, maybe you shouldn't get a tattoo.
because it's gonna look like a 5 year old tattoo, all tattoos age, they fade, they meld together some,
if it's done by a good reputable artist then it will be fine.
putting white over solid black is not going to be as vivid as you are thinking,it will be very lightly subtle at best.
it will never look like that reference picture you posted.
Hi and welcome, and your idea sounds like a great idea, I have my dog's paw prints on me already(she is alive and well),
and whoever the person was that told you a rose would blowout has no idea what they are talking about, makes no sense, I have a few roses on me with no blowout LOL
keep a very light coat of aveeno or something on it and more importantly, let it heal, look at it again in 6 weeks,it will settle in and look fine IMO.
I am F***ing chill, you're posting pics taken at 1 inch away. LOL and so I will say it again, you're looking at it to closely, it's a god dam tattoo. you're going to find issues with ANY tattoo looking that closely.
LOL so stop looking at your tattoo with a magnifying glass .
if that is blowout,don't worry about it now,
and like was said,it happens to the best of artists on soft thin skin.
I have different styles on the same body parts.I have different styles right next to each other all over my body.
IMO it works just fine,
it's your body,do what ever the hell you want to do !
who cares what anyone else thinks anyway !
no, probably not age, I'm 59 and still getting tattooed, no problems here healing,
like @Gingerninja said, take care of your body, happy body/happy mind.
and I agree, maybe it's time to see your doctor.
