Thanks for the replies. Six months on, the lettering and heart across the chest look okay, the actual tattoo on the arm appears to be fading and looks as I can only describe as mouldy, not been out in the sun or exposed, followed all aftercare protocols, wondering if anything can be done about it.

Okay, this is it straight after being done

You can clearly see the redness there

And this is a couple of shots across the chest

These are taken right after being done.
