Is it normal for tatoo colors to blend??

I just got a tattoo yesterday of my flag, took a shower before i went to bed, (didn't rub my tattoo with towel either). i also put A & D like the artist told me. Today i woke up and some of the colors are blending, like the black outline went into the yellow? is this a normal thing? is my 1st color tattoo, please help if you know. Thanks

  • Contact your tattoo artist. If they don't give you a satisfactory answer, or even if they do, you may want to get a second opinion from another respected artist.

    You may have to wait until it completely heals (about 3 weeks) before you can truly tell what has happened to the colours in the dermis. Right now, your skin is making a scab and some colour with seep out into the scab as it heals. But when the scab falls away, the tattoo looks normal underneath. Over time (at least a decade), and depending on the quality of the tattoo, the colours/lines will actually blur slightly.

    I would say ask the artist and see what he says about it.
