Bamboo Tattoo

Hi there, It has been 15 days since I got a Tattoo in Thailand - Bamboo Tattoo - inside my arm. Around it has something that looks like a bruise, light blue colored. Its very light, just around the tattoo. The tattoo is perfect and healed very well. What could be this mark - Pigment or real bruise? How to fix it? Thanks a lot!

Most likely given the time it has been since you have been tattooed and the location, I'd say it is a bruise. Under the arm, depending on the person, does tend to bruise. Keep an eye on it, I'm sure it will disappear.

I was told that could be a deep tissue pigmentation and the only way to get rid of it is by laser treatment, how far it could be true? I`m so worried! Is there any cream or something that I could rub on my tattoo to help somehow? Thanks Again!

sounds like its where he's gone too deep, but dont worry about it, its easy to do that under the arm, the skin is thin there. it'll be fine, go to another artist and get water shade like smoke or something to camoflage it and recover it.

Hi there, this is me again, after 9 months and this "bruise" is still the same. I dont regret the tattoo at all, but I feel sorry about this. Waited all tis time and yesterday I had an appointment done to get rid of this the deep pigment, not the tattoo and was told that it is not possible because it is too faint and would not work and the scaring could be even worse. Then, she says that I could look for a treatment called rejuvi, what about that? Thanks!

its part of the risk factor. You are gonna have that for a while. It won't hurt anything...but looks. It is not really anyones "fault"....But, time will get rid of it as your body absorbs the pigment...years later. Either tattoo over it or wait it out. I know it is annoying but, again, it is skin and there are lots of variables. It is an imperfect science and art. Try not to worry about it.
