It is 11 days old. The entire inner arm was initially bruised for about three days. That showed up around day five. It hasn’t moved or changed colors which is what was causing my concern. In person it is a bit darker. The lines seem fine to me, just the outer flesh turned that blueish color. The artist who did it said it was bruising and I was satisfied with that. Until another artist saw it and told me that it was a major blowout and needed to be covered.
I want it to be a bruise because I absolutely love the tattoo as it is. And I know I will find out eventually, just the wait is torturing me. It’s not sensitive at all. No color changes, no movement. If this is a bruise, could I expect to see color changes any time soon? I’ve heard that bruising and blowouts are common on inner bicep tattoos and I’ve never experienced this before, so I am a little lost.
