Is my tattoo over-worked?

I received my 7th tattoo yesterday afternoon. The artist used the same needle for the entire piece. It is Greek text from my elbow almost to my wrist. It is one word at about 72 point font. In my previous tattoos I remember them being raised form the skin considerably in the days following application, and then settling back to nearly flush with the un-tattooed skin. With this one, the text is actually indented into my skin as if it were carved into my arm. When viewed from the side, I can see what looks like little trenches cut into my arm. The artist did not use an outline. What little I saw of his needle looked like three needles grouped closely beside each other spanning about the width of a penny. When I dab it dry after cleaning it, there is very little blood visible. There is, however, a LOT of ink that comes off. I am a little worried that it may scar badly and discolor. Am I worried about nothing, or will I need to get this looked at more closely? I have no image available (sorry). Thank you.
