How long should the redness around my tattoo last?

Question

I recently got a tattoo about two days ago (picture included). This is my second tattoo and my first's redness dissappeared after a couple of hours but this one there is still red around it. My second tattoo is a lot bigger and maybe thats why its taking awhile. I was just curious of your guys opinion whether it looks like its healing properly.

Thank you very much

Answer 1

give it up to a week then if its still red consult your GP and make sure you use your cream if you don't have any bepanthem is a good alternative its for diper rash but its the same principal (:

Answer 2

definatly be gone before a week

Answer 3

about a week at most. but then you're going to be getting the scabs and all that.  

Answer 4

The bigger the tattoo the longer you have the needle going in your skin so that more trama to your skin. So yes it will take a little bit longer. I have bruising before on some of my bigger pieces. If it doesn't go away after 3-5 days then I would just make sure it is healing the way it is supposed to be.
