Mina Murray

Hi, i just got a big tattoo on my upper left pec and am wondering if it's causing my breast to swell up. It's high up an inch below the collar bone and there is a dark yellow bruise that goes al around and ends 2 or 3 inches above my nipple. Yesterday i noticed that the tattoos breast was larger that the other and was really drooping low. I just wanted to check and see if this has happened to anyone else when they got a chest tattoo.

Hi Faolan,

Each tattoo/tattooee/tattooer is different but it is a pretty sensitive area. The day after I had mine done, the whole area was a bit swollen and I had some yellow bruises on the top of my arms of all places. Maybe your artist applied some pressure on your breast and you didn't really notice at the time?

I hope it'll get better soon but as Hollyjoybee advised, get in touch with your artist if you're worried.

Hello!

Whenever I come across the name Mina, I think of Bram Stoker's Dracula.

That's the idea. ;-)

Mina Harker was nee Murray.

Thanks guys!

Hi Ditch,

I'm completely new too, but same as you an expat, originally from France but living in England. I have stopped worring about my English a way back, imperfections make you more interesting, or so I keep telling myself... :-)

The same as everybody else, I've been lurking for a long while and I thought I should introduce myself.

I'm a very lucky lady with a few tattoos already, another one planned for next month, I can't wait :-) Most of them are traditional/neo trad, some of them are from Ben Stone, yeah, I did say I was lucky :-)

I live in England, I like stuff and I'm a little bit shy. :o
