Tattoo emergency

[lalicopa]

So, my tattoo is four days old now. It's significantly faded. I think I screwed it up. I think I rubbed off some of the color after the shower. I did whatever I was told to do, but I just feel like this can't be normal tattoo healing, for my flesh color to be so prominent throughout the once-opaque tattoo.

Advice? Experience?

Eileen says I'm being crazy.

I just left a message for the tattoo artist, hopefully she'll call me back tonight.

Look at these 2 pictures:


Just after I got home...

...and about a half hour ago

When the initial peeling happens a lot of the depth of the color comes off. I can't stand that, I always want my tattoos to stay super dark but they don't. With color some people take certain colors/brands of ink differently. When I got my red tattoo on my shoulder it faded to light pink after the initial peeling. I had to go to a different shop where they used a different brand of ink on me.
