Lambchop Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Hello! I just got a new tattoo exactly 3 weeks ago. It is no longer peeling much but I am not happy with how it looks. The lines are much darker than they were when it was fresh and also the tattoo is still raised. I am concerned about tattoo blowout and/or scarring. Am I overreacting or what are your thoughts?

Dan Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 it looks totally normal for 3 weeks IMO,tattoos take months to fully heal. oboogie and Lambchop 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oboogie Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 It will never look exactly as it did immediately after tattooing. Let it heal. Lambchop and bongsau 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplelace Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 It looks fine to me, normal healing. As others have said, it can take months for tattoos to "bed in" so to speak. Don't worry about it. It looks good. Lambchop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambchop Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 Thanks all. I think I was just paranoid because this is my first tattoo I got as a walk-in. So I didn’t do my homework on the artist ahead of time. But the place was nice and reputable in general. Thanks again for the replies.
