First redish/orange tat

First redish/orange tat

I got this yesterday as my birthday gift to myself from my favorite artist-for context she’s done 4 of my previous tattoo’s and they all are beautiful, including a large shaded spine piece. I’ve never gotten this color before, and I don’t exactly have one thats this densely packed in color. Is the redness around the sparks and some tenderness normal for the day after? I washed it yesterday and then again this morning, and I use a non scented moisturizer by cerave due to sensitive skin. I just want to make sure its not infected or anything! Sorry if this is stupid questioning, I’m still sort of a baby to tattoo healing processes!
