A doctor has provided 1 answer
Starts to look norma: Initially there ae holes to the dermis, the kin may seep the areas around the tattoo are swollen and reddened. As times goes on the skin above the tattoo gets drier may peel a bit as well leaving a shiny look. The tattoo is healing at this point. There should b no pain, fever, throbbing or warm to the touch sensation
