got tattoo 9 days ago,the day after i got it,it swelled up 2xz the size of my ankle.is all red,redness is going all the way down my foot.and the colors Green,And Gold scabbed up and ouzed. and are still doing it to this day.it feels like its real tight and streching apart,theres also a tingiling.but it seems to be getting better. i am going to have to go back in and have the color put back in cause its pulled out, how long should i wait before going back?
