Tattoo still raised?

I got my tattoo about a month and a week ago, and it is still raised. I can feel the tattoo when I touch it. It is not red or itchy or anything that would assume infection. I wash it like every other day just once, not sure if washing it more would help. It seems to be healed but just still raised. Is this normal, should I be worried?

Thank You

    As long as the swelling and such has gone away, and it appears to be of normal color I wouldn't worry. If it is only slightly raised, and doesn't raise anymore, it will likely go back down over time. My mothers tattoos were the same way. If it raises more or gets discolored, or starts to become painful, I would see a medical professional.

    Yes, its normal. Its healed but it hasn't settled into your skin. It takes a few months for that.
