Hi Danielle, thanks for the question.
This tomato does appear to have blossom end rot. This is a calcium deficiency usually due to inconsistent watering. It can also appear in the first tomatoes off of a plant. Attention to proper watering and fertilization can help to prevent this disorder. Check out the following links for further information:
