It seems to be healing nicely and isn't really bothering me at all.
did they give you any lotion at the place or give you specific brands to use? i know that in rare cases certain lotions can react with certain inks giving less than ideal results. oh and be VERY gentle washing it - no direct water on it in the shower - no baths. use a washcloth and DAB, don't rub/scrub.
