Question for those of you who are tattoo'd

[Diane]

Have you gone back to them, and talked to them about it?

I would, you need to show them, and talk to them about it. You paid them enough they owe it to you to talk about it, and make any corrections necessary.

I went down on Sat. and the guy behind the desk kinda glanced at it and said it was healing fine. However, I've got a bunch of tats and none of them have looked like this during the healing process. I'm thinking of going back to the shop tomorrow, but I'm kind of hesitant because I just went there on Sat. I think I'll call and see if I can talk to the guy who did it. If nothing else, I know they'll redo it for free, but like I said, I'm going away soon and I can't have an open wound where I'm going. I guess I'll just have to spend 6 weeks looking like a complete chump .

I should add that it will probably turn out fairly well and just need touching up, but I'm just unhappy with its current form. Tats always look a bit strange/off when they're healing, but this one just seems different because for whatever reason it scabbed heavily and it's taking a long time to heal.

The areas where it is scabbed heavily, is probably because he went to deep with the needle in those areas.
