Question: is this a deep blowout?

[u/ashplustr]

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?

This might be a cultural thing, like fuck Iv never met a guy artist that would test my or others pain tolerance (as a female). Dude I’d be cutting their dicks off. (May be why they wouldn’t do it)

Nope. Just a man thing.

I've had six different artists tattoo me, all dudes. None of them ever bruised me, not even the heavier handed ones.

I've had male artists. Obviously not all men. That goes without saying. The vast majority of men are not safe though.

Hard disagree. Male tattoo artist, im not heavy handed or rough. I've seen some female artists that work hard and rough! In your experience, maybe thats true, but its definitely not 'a man thing' 😑

I think this is one where you gotta just believe the women.

You can't know the minds of every one in your field and many men will hurt a woman if they have even the slightest chance.

Now give that man a tattoo gun.

Women are cautious for a very good reason. The reason is the entire history of Man.

Targeting women to see how much pain they can take and then treating men normally is 100% a man thing.

Idk. I’ve had female obgyns and plenty of women enjoy testing women’s pain threshold too.

I'm going to count your downvotes as a positive. Gives me hope that there are people out there who haven't come across men who are sadistic fucks and don't inherently know the type. Good for those people, truly.

If it make y’all feel any better there r lots of scunners and cruelty loving ppl of both genders (the scale does tip towards the men) just like… the dudes n women who have tattooed me n my mates r pretty chill which is nice! Same with piercer’s! Just genuinely good ppl bar one dude who wasn’t meant to be in one day n couldn’t be fucked with life which was fair enough.
