    Hi! I’m new around here, I’m a bit confused, if someone could please help me out that would be wonderful. I just got a cover up two days ago on the top of my wrist near my hand. It’s a big rose with lots of shading and coloring, if that helps at all. I have been cleaning it at least 3 times a day with anti-bacterial soap and put on the ointment. It doesn’t hurt as much as it did when I first got it, the swelling is definitely going down, but it’s still red and slightly swelled. Is this normal? I’m freaking out. I have 4 other tattoos, and I don’t remember them swelling, but this one is bigger and more colored than all of my other tattoos, except for one, and that one healed pretty fast. :confused:

    Tattoo healing takes months. Especially the hand and wrist.

    Relax, don’t pick at it, and use ointment very sparingly.

    My arm was friggin swollen when I got the goat. But the other one on the same arm – nothing.

    It’s normal, and it will go down.

    Thank you both! It’s already starting to look better
