bruised after tattoo

Redpunto · 2009-09-08 18:56:02

Got a couple of add-ons a couple of days ago, small tatts but they were more sore than normal while they were being done. My arm now has come up a big orange bruise around the tattoo and after having 6 tattos done this has never happened - is it normal??

In my opinion I would say that it is not uncommon anyway. After all it is a needle being thrust into your flesh at high speed. There is bound to be some sort of skin trauma happening. All depends on how your immune system is too I would imagine.
