The first image just looks like it hasnt fully healed. 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 have worse tattoos than this…..the bottom face is super cool

Two Thumbs Up!

Hi and welcome. You can find Tattoo Artist Professional Discussion threads under the Forum Tab.

Yeah I’ve had tattoos completely heal in 3 weeks and some have taken up to 2 months. My shin is nothing but bone. No meat whatsoever and my shin took forever to heal. I had doubts during the healing process if I would scar but with enough time it all evened out. Just be patient and don’t pick at it!

Looks like the piece is on your forearm close to the wrist. There’s not much room to work with. Lacking good ideas…..
