My tattoos have had moments where things didnt look right but they always ended up cleaning themselves up during healing.
The second image does look like a bruise. Ive never been bruised like that before. It will be easier to know what you are dealing with once the bruise goes away.

I like the color and how bold his tattoos turn out. Hope this helps even though i’m not sure if its exactly what you are asking for.
