anna 0 Posted January 21, 2014 Howdy. Umm.. I'm Anna. I can be a bit awkward. I live in Florida and recently got my first tattoo (woo!) I do have some more questions tho. My tattoo appears to have an indent in part of it (also happens to be in a part where he did the most shading, if that has any correlation). Its still healing, but I'm not optimistic that it will completely go away. Is this something that I should be worried about? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TrixieFaux 388 Posted January 21, 2014 Don't worry, just wait for it to heal. After about 3 weeks, see how it looks. If there is a problem, contact your tattooer. hogg and Graeme 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anna 0 Posted January 21, 2014 Thanks. I'm probably just being super paranoid since I've not experienced this before. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deadsp0t 27 Posted January 21, 2014 It's easy to be over observant, I know I was, but like was already said after 3-4 weeks you'll know more.. As you get more tattoos you'll start to realize there are no perfect tattoos, if you look hard enough you'll find something. Just give it some time.. And even if it's never 'perfect' just get a new tattoo lol anna 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dbeatdano 6 Posted January 21, 2014 Any pics of your first tattoo? Congrats on your first one by the way and welcome. anna 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anna 0 Posted January 22, 2014 I had just never heard of a tattoo having an indentation like this before, I guess I'll find out more as it heals. It doesn't hurt or anything though, So I'll take that as a good sign. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pcolevr 0 Posted January 25, 2014 Hi Anna - I am experiencing a similar situation with my first tattoo - what I call craters. It's a week old today. Did yours look anything like my pic attached and how is it looking now 3 days later? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anna 0 Posted January 26, 2014 It wasn't nearly quite that bad. It was just one line on the neck of the design. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anna 0 Posted January 26, 2014 edit: I'm having a hell of a time getting the stupid picture to show. Its on my gallery though. Finally got a picture using a friends phone. And yes, my leg is a tad hairy, but its winter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerrykramer 0 Posted January 26, 2014 I'd say just keep waiting. Doesn't look healed up yet, but it also doesn't look wrecked. My guess is it'll end up being fine. anna and JAllen 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadeIndelible 122 Posted January 28, 2014 @pcolevr , I think your tattoo may be infected. Taking it to a tattooer might be a good idea. Hard to tell from pics, but that looks pretty bad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
