I recieved a fairly large (two hours w/o any breaks) tattoo on my right calf a month ago. It is fully healed, however, i now realize that my calf (the one that was tattooed) is a little bigger than my left one. To the best of my knowledge, it was not like this before the tattoo. I was wondering if this is still b/c of an infection, b/c it is not as healed as i believe it is, or just paranoia?
Swollen Leg

if it not red ,if the skin feels smooth to the touch ,if your hair has grown back and you dont have any scabs, and there is no peeling of any kind, then you are completely healed.as far as swelling goes ive never ever heard of a persons leg staying swollen for a month from a tattoo !!!!!!! the parinoia has set in.chances are that your leg was already a little bigger then the other one because everyone has a dominant side and tattooing it has brought attention to that leg.so my remedy to your problem would be to tattoo the other leg and they can be swollen together.hahahaha. later man
