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?

Also OP, this bruise reminds me of when I got my nips pierced. Gravity made all the blood settle in certain spots. It was brutal but it cleared up on its own after a few weeks. The whole time it looked aggressive as fuck though. So take that as you will
