So I got a tattoo yesterday. I had 6 before so this is my 7th, I should know these things by now you'd think anyway I went to a different place than I normally go because this other place I heard was good, and they were doing a promotion for breast cancer awareness. So I got the tattoo on the inside of my bicep, yesterday it was swollen and puffy and looked bruised, today its just red about an inch around it all the way around, i've never noticed my tattoos doing this before but the other ones I have are on my foot, ankle wrists and shoulders and this one is on the inside of my arm right where it meets my shirt whe i put my arm down. am I just being paranoid thinking something is wrong with it or is it normal for it to be red like this the second day of having it?

no expert here. but follow al the instructions the artist gave you. and i am no dr, but i'd take some ibuprofen/tylenol. but ask youre dr first. and keep it clean as you can. good luck.

Thats some good advice. Go back to the shop you got it from and ask them! They should be more than happy to take a look at it for you.
