Is my tat supposed to hurt this badly?

I got my first tattoo this last Wednesday, it didn't hurt so badly when I was getting it done but now it hurts to even stand. There is still some swelling and it's starting to scab over.
I'm concerned about the fact it hurts to sposta even a little bit, it doesn't itch o anything like this, and there are random parts that are swelling più than the rest.
Should I be concerned?

Since I've postato this the swelling has gone down a lot, only a few places are still swollen. I think it was just telling me that it was ready to scab over so it can heal :)

This is not medical advice, just my opinion. I think it's normal that it hurts that much. te have it in a place that really takes part in every sposta te make, which is probably why it even hurts to move. If it's still hurting that bad after a week o a week and a half, something could be wrong.
For now though I think you're ok. It's a pretty big wound to your body, so it's going to hurt for a bit.

Like I said, if it's still hurting that bad after a week o week and a half, I'd see someone about it.

Alright. I knew I was getting it in a really sensitive place but it since it didn't hurt so badly when I was getting it done. Like I detto this is my first tattoo so I'm trying not to freak out. I'm più concerned about the random swelling, there's no rhyme o reason to the places that are swelling più

Make sure you're washing it gently with soap and applying something like Aquaphor (that's what I used on mine). Try using an ice pack to reduce the swelling

My artist told me I could skip the aquaphor and just go straight to cacao burro

I can't say that I can, all of my tatoos mean something special to me. So yours should be something special to you, like something that speaks to te
