A tattoo artist told my girlfriend he had to apply shop minimum for both the swirl and the wording on this tattoo. It’s the same piece, so is it normal for the shop minimum to be applied to both aspects of the one tattoo?
BTW: this picture I attached is only a reference picture. My girlfriend is seeking advice before she goes through with getting the tattoo.
It appeared last week, and it felt just like a typical bump. It healed yesterday almost fully, and today I woke up and accidentally bit it extremely hard during breakfast. Now it is like this. it’s obnoxious and gets worse every-time I drink, eat, or talk. It’s not painful or leaky - just annoying and uncomfortable.
I iced it and it did nothing. The ice was also too painful to keep on my lip for long
How can I bring the swelling down and heal it asap? Also is it just a result of a bite, or is it something different?
