Probably just in the “new skin” phase where skin is growing over the injured skin that was damaged. Your tattoo will never look as sharp as it did when it was first done because the ink was on top of the skin. It should clear up a bit as the new skin becomes more transparent up to 2 months from now.

What are you talking about?

A picture of this tattoo would really help

It’s still healing. It’ll take another 4 weeks probably to even get close to looking like how it will.

you could always go with another tattoo the other way up. perhaps a dead tree or some other symbolic tree like tat that represents a mirror image of the original but with a different take on it. light vs dark..

Hi!

yep, my SO had her foot tattood and it was swollen and sore a few weeks after. its a touchy area for a lot of people.

If you are concerned at all though always see a doctor.

Different people react differently to tattoos in different places.
I can imagine the foot being pretty bad, since there’s relatively little skin and fat covering the muscles and bone.

Strange and unusual is kind of immaterial in the world of tattoos. Most of the best tattoos are, in fact, strange and unusual 😀

Does it bother you?

Hello Nicola, and welcome to the site 🙂

You could have it lasered off and replaced with something nicer?

I have a great idea but can not explain it and this website won’t let me add a picture from the web

Keep it dry and don’t put anything on it.

It is painful because you just caused major trauma to your skin.

Did you think it wasn’t going to hurt?

You’re welcome

Here are a few that are reasonably close to you and will do a great job for you
