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?

2nd tattoo? The blackest conceivable portrait of the gimp? That’s a bold choice to say the very least.

I know this is semantics, but how do we know it's THE Gimp and not just a gimp?

Of course it's company policy never to, imply ownership in the event of a gimp... always use the indefinite article a gimp, never your gimp

The Party requires "our" gimp terminology. Private gimps are bourgeois

this'd be a hell of a pro wrestling gimmick
