Probably. Tenderness is both common and expected. A tattoo is truly an open wound at first (due to the hundreds to thousands of tiny holes poked through your skin) that typically takes about a month to fully heal. Even after the scab falls off, it's still healing.

Being direct, unless it's swollen, cracked, bleeding, or oozing pus (the opaque, greenish-gray stuff and not the clear, yellowish stuff), you're probably fine. If you're still concerned, best to go see your tattoo artist right away. He/She's a pro (hopefully) and will know lots of answers. If you're still dissatisfied, be respectful to your artist and then go see a doctor.

Why would veins look green?

That was a pretty deep bruise that is now mostly healed. All bruise colors are from hemoglobin, the red compound in red blood cells. This causes the initial red/purple color of a new bruise. As the hemoglobin breaks down it turns into biliverdin, which causes the greenish color. That will break down into bilirubin which looks yellow. Then the breakdown will be completed and the bruise will be healed.

Not until the wound is completely healed. Doing so before it is completely healed will create scar tissue within the wound, since you're tearing the healing tissue with the skipping motion.
