The areas around the holes are still a little red but the piercer told me that its normal and you have it changed by a professional at 3-4 mths or you can change it yourself at 6 mths. But only use antibacterial soap or a surgical soap saline and non iodized sea salt. While some tattoo redness around tattoos can be expected it doesnt mean that all kinds can be brushed off.
