Default possible infection what should I do?

Ok So I got this sick tattoo from Dave Tedder and it rocks. I have done my absolute best to take care of it and thought I was doing a good job but I have noticed that some areas look really really dark now compared to day of pics that are now on the site. http://www.allornothingtattoo.com/ga...?album=4&pos=1

The light blue feathers are now almost engulfed in darkness.

I have been washing the tattoo twice a day with dial anti-bacterial soap and using the h2ocean loation on it 3-5 times a day.

I tried to take pics of it to show the current state of things I am having technical deifficulties getting the the pics to show what I am concerned about.

What do I do to save this piece of art? What am I doing wrong or not doing? Please help I am very concerned!

any severe scabbing or redness or bumps? as far as darkness, may just be the beginning of peeling. never really seen a tattoo go dark. you may be just freaking out. i dont know, try to post a pick.

no scabbing, no real nedness except for one small area that I think might be a little red but cant tell if its just highlighted that way or if its red. No bumps.

When touch it to put lotion on it, there is no weird sensation what so ever. Everything feels fine. But when I am just sitting at my desk working I sometimes think I feel a very light agitation in the middle of the tattoo. I dont trust this feeling however as I am the type to worry about something so much I will actually start to feel something that isnt there.

ARG. I know you all cant give much advice without seeing what I am talking about so I will try to get pics up this evening.

Until then is there something preventive I can do incase there is an issue that wouldnt hurt it?

ok here are the pics:

This is the area I am most concerned with the area on the orange plume feathers between the yellow fire. Seems little red and I dont know if thats colored that way or I should be concerened here:


Another shot of the same area:


Another section of the feathers that has some dark shading I am concerned about:


Here is the area I talk about turning dark. The more I look at the more I Think that the blue of the feathers is just lifting out of the tattoo but it looks WAY WAY darker then the pic posted in the gallery:


Some full length pics:

Your Tattoo looks ok from what I can see, as new skin grows back it gives a red gray like hue. So as long as its not inflamed, you're ok dude. P.S. The tattoo looks killer!

can someone from the shop show these to Dave? And if there is anything wrong or something I should do to ease my mind have him contact me? I would come down there but I live in Boston so that kinda out of the question.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with this piece, technique, art, or healing wise.
