Sometimes, tattoos look messy and blurry while they are healing. You might see some ink leakage and some blurry lines while your skin is repairing itself. However, if your skin is healed and the lines of the tattoo are imprecise and smudged looking then you have a tattoo blowout. Give your tattoo a few weeks to heal.
Why does my new tattoo look smudged?
In all cases, tattoo blowouts cause the lines in your tattoo to blur, and the ink used to create the lines usually move well outside their edges. It may look like the ink in your tattoo is bleeding outward, giving your tattoo a smudged appearance.

That being said, smudged-looking tattoos aren't all that common, and you can reduce the likelihood of it happening by following a few simple steps and taking certain precautions.
