Feel OK: Did the tattooist say you would bleed or MIGHT bleed. Likely, you are OK and hopefully like the tattoo. A check-up and CBC will confirm the absence of your fear.

No bleeding: It is common to have some blood spotting when getting a tattoo, but unusual to have active bleeding at the site. Measuring for how "thick" one's blood is can be done with a bleeding time study.
