All my work has flaws; ink loss from scabs pulling off, an ever slightly crooked line, etc. It's part of getting tattooed! Embrace the imperfection! The Japanese even have a word for it (wabi sabi). The flaws make your artwork that much more unique.

May I ask if you imply that you think it will stay that way as a flaw? Because it's a red spot right in the middle of the main part of the tattoo and is a deal breaker:(

Hello, I've got my first tattoo that I really like but one spot bothers me. It's a small area done with white ink and seems like it doesn't want to heal or the skin is weird in that particular spot.  Basically the artist put some white ink above the nose of the face and it's been a month now and it's still very pink. If my arm is under clothes and I turn up the sleeve and look at it it looks pretty nice and white but if I keep it that way or move my hand more the blood flows and the area becomes pink. If I lightly press on the spot in becomes white but soon fills up with pink. Could it eventually stop doing that and remain white, because it's been a month already and it doesn't seem to improve one bit? Could it be that white ink heals way slower and I have to be patient? I love my tattoo but the spot is right in the middle of the face and looks ugly when it's red...and my ocd is driving me a bit crazy with this.

So this is right after I lightly press on the area, it gets whiter with some pinkish edges

And this is soon after when it becomes much more pink 

Photos are from the phone so my skin seems a bit reddish I think, but IRL the pink area on the bright skin is very apparent
