Swelling

got my second tattoo on Friday afternoon. It looks great but it has been swollen. The swelling got a little worse today (Sunday). The tatoo is located on my upper thigh/hip. It is a little more swollen below the area of the tattoo. For those that have had work in this area how long till the swelling should start to decrease? The tat came out great but the swelling is starting to get to me.

every tattoo i have below the waist has swelled for at least a week it seems the lower you go the more they swell if you have any more concerns about it talk with your artist i am shure they would be happy to answer all you questions about your concerns.
