Why is your new tattoo bruised?

No, they dont all bruise, and bruising is usually caused by the artist gripping the area too tight, or the tattooee may be slightly anemic...As always the answer may differ with different people...Say,

Is the tattooist working out of a shop with proper equiptment????

Does he use single needles to outline with, singles were known to bruise alot...

how hard does he/she grip????

There may yet be more reasons why you are bruising, I need to know more details............Hope this helps.......TatuBaron
