Hello and thanks for posting,
I think that you have already had some useful feedback from other forum users.
To be honest, it would be sensible to delay the tattoo, until you have been seen. They can't really assess the area properly, if it is healing etc from a recent tattoo.
I hope that this helps, and things go well for you.
Best wishes,
Vanda
