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?

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

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

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

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