Blowout or Healing (I know... I know...)

[youenjoyphish]

Hello all,

I know this gets posted very often and the advice is to wait longer for it to heal, but at this point I'm fairly certain this is blowout. Been 4 days and the ink looks like it's leeching, especially within the circle and around the arrow.

Any input?

Wait longer for it to heal.

First, you won't know anything until it completely heals - 4 to 6 weeks. Second, even if you do know something, you CAN'T fix a blow out ... not now, not in six weeks, not in a year, not in ten years. You got thin lines on thin, delicate skin which gives you the highest chance of a blow out.

Hi, all!

I’ve been reading a lot about blowouts lately as i’ve just got my second and biggest tattoo recently (7 days ago). I can now say that I am sure mine has some regions with blowout and even though I know there is nothing I can do about it, have to wait for it to heal completely I would still send the photos to the artist that did my tattoo to be aware. Feedback is important. 

Like many others said, this is part of a hand-made piece of art which is subject to gaining its own imperfections.

well blowout isn’t going to be entirely the artists fault, sometimes it depends on the area being tattooed and it wasn’t going to happen regardless - tattoos are perfect through imperfection

You don't know anything until it heals. I've had lines that looked blown out that were actually fine. The bruising made them look blown out.

I have a much larger version of Prince's symbol on my left arm. I got it the day he died. You can cover it with something bigger, but you can't fix blowouts. Still. It is far too soon to tell.
