Thanks all! I know I need to wait for it to heal, I was just surprised when I took a closer look and was wondering what that might be, because it does look a little different than a blowout (besides the second picture, which I did notice, but am not worried about). It was done at a legitimate shop...this guy has been tattooing for years and has a great portfolio. Yet another reason why I was a little surprised by it. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed...in any case, it looks fine from a distance. Time will tell, I guess :)

Hi all,

My name is Kelly and I'm new to the forum! I came here because I'm looking for some insight into what might be going on with my tattoo. I just got it done yesterday; this is my third and I haven't seen this happen before. When I took the bandage off a couple of hours after getting it done, I noticed some of the lines are pretty blurry. This excess ink has not washed off. I'm not sure if the lines are blown out, or if it's something else. I'm hoping it will fade as it heals; if not, I will go back to the shop and see what they can do. In the meantime, does anyone have any idea as to what this is, and if it can be fixed? I'm feeling pretty disappointed :(

(The images are also in my gallery, in case they don't paste here correctly)

Thanks in advance!!
