Bruises (contusions)

Bruises are formed when an impact on the skin breaks capillaries and causes bleeding into skin tissue while the skin does not break. Bruises change color over time as the body begins to heal itself. In most cases, it takes a bruise about 2 weeks to repair itself.

Two weeks on my new tattoo is still slightly tender feeling a bit like a bruise other than that its completely healed. is this normal?

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.

4 days after root canal there's a bruise on my lower jaw?

I don't know how long ago this was posted but I had this happen at the end of 2011 - I wen to the endodontist for a lower root canal on a molar. Woke up the next day with bruising from my chin back - freaked out, called the endo and he looked at it and said that he must have "nicked" a blood vessel during anesthesia. It took a full two weeks for my bruising to go away. He also said my case was only the 2nd time he'd had that happen to a patient, which makes me think it was a total screw up on his part (my root canal proceeded to take, not 1, 2, 3, but four visits, so it was a cluster all around). I was told unfortunately that nothing would make the bruising go away sooner - but I'd definitely check with your endo to be sure it's the same circumstance as mine. Feel better and good luck!
