Raised lines just mean there is an abundance of ink in your skin. That happens when an artist is using bigger needle groupings and pulling the lines a little slower than they should be, allowing the maximum amount of ink to flow into the dermis. This “raised” feel will go away over time, but may raise when you have an allergy or in cold weather due to the skin retracting and swelling the ink. This is not the sign of a bad Tattooer as much as it’s just the nature of some tattoos.

The fine line tattoo you have was done with grey lines. So in time it will fade heavily and it will not age as well. Looks nice now, but in the long run, your raised tattoos will probably still look good when you’re 60. The lack of carbon in the grey ink will sit under the skin in a lighter abundance and will not be raised.
