I actually believe that slight shading under it will complete an otherwise incomplete tattoo, but to each his own.

But if you notice in the pic, it is darker on one side and lighter on the other. I will post a pic tomorrow showing how the healing has progressed and you guys can be the judge.

Anyhow the red will fade and there may or may not be grey there.

If it’s a bruise, the question is.. how long do your bruises generally take to heal?

Put the picture in your “tattoo album”

I’m going to put that pic in my album now.
