Hello all, please excuse me as I am very new to the forum. I've just been freaking out a bit about the way my tattoo looks. It's about three weeks old, and it's scabbed and peeled already. However I've been left with an extremely faded, shiny, and slightly raised tattoo. Is this normal? During the peeling time it looked like it was mostly ink that was coming off of it. Do I need a retouch? Did my artist scar me? What's going on? :?

"New tattoo is faded, wrinkly, and shiny after three weeks." sounds completely normal to me,in 2 or 3 more months when it heals it should be fine.
