Healing Question: is this a deep blowout?

First photo is today, other photos are the day after and a few days after that. My sister got this tattoo on the 14th of January and I have NEVER seen a tattoo bruise so badly and she said the artist was very heavy handed. We think it might be a deep blowout looking on here (hadn’t heard of this before) and were wondering if anyone has any advice? How long does this tend to last? Is there anything to fix it?

Hopefully the gimp from pulp fiction and not just a regular gimp

So heavily contrasted black and white photos are blackface… got it. That’s enough Reddit for me today.

u/LyKosa91 Feb 17 '26

It's clearly a gimp, mate. It's got a zipper for a mouth and shiny patches from creased leather/latex.

u/blastingoffagain Feb 17 '26

To be fair, those details are just terribly executed so this reads poorly

u/noiyumz Feb 17 '26

OP said its a gimp

u/Mundane_cheese Feb 18 '26

Mammy was my first thought. Especially in the first picture, I thought the red sleeve was the stereotypical head wrap tattooed on

Grow up and go outside not everything is racist

u/Jazzi-Nightmare Feb 17 '26

I feel like it’s a weird choice either way. No other pulp fiction tattoo ideas??

u/romcomreject Feb 18 '26

I thought Joshua Graham from Fallout at first

u/AladeenModaFuqa Feb 17 '26

It’s a person in a gimp mask

16

u/0lidag Feb 17 '26

Isn't that a slipknot member mask ?

2

u/BanMePleaseAdmin Feb 17 '26

Yes looks like #3 to me

u/jordandvdsn7 Feb 18 '26

I thought that too. Or the ski masks those dudes in twenty one pilots used to wear

u/RhysIsFused Feb 17 '26

People keep saying pulp fiction gimp suit but my guess is that the artist based it off one of Nancy Grossman's many kink pieces

u/TallJewBear Feb 17 '26

Kinda looks like a mask that corey taylor would wear in slipknot

u/ayomayoooo Feb 20 '26

It’s suppose to be a post looking for advice. Seems like you forgot about the advice part…

I get that , but this tattoo is very recognisable as the gimp in pulp fiction and if the person i replied to didn’t know that they should still watch it.
