Tattoo help please...?

Question

i asked this last night, but i would like to see if i can get some more answers. i have 8 tattoos and a full thigh piece. the one on my lower back and the thigh piece are itching ans the black and dark blue are bumping up.the others are fine. does anyone know what this could be or what i can do? or has this happened to you ?

Answer 1

I agree with ^^  You should go to the doctor, it may be an allergic reaction.  You really should get it checked out for the benefit of your health

Answer 2

mine do this from time to time. it's normal. The skin just get irratated and swells a bit. It's not different then when scars do it. your not having any kind of serious reaction, just dont scratch at it cause you'll p**s the skin off more. slap on some lotion and ignore it and it will go away.  

Answer 3

well the ink might be different and you might have an allergic reaction to it.. or its getting to much sunlight.... i really think you should go see a tattoo parlor or go to the hospital... it might be more serious then you think.... well good luck!!!

Answer 4

Mine do that sometimes- remeber the skin there is embedded with ink and scarred from thousands of needle pricks, even if you can see them skin scars underneath from any break in it so expect it to behave differently. all of mine went really bumpy when new (after the scabbing tho, i mean) and they have random days. when its really cold they goose bump even i the rest of me doesn't sometimes, they can get raised if i'm ill or run down. basically its damaged flesh (i don't like to think of my ink that way tho!).

if it stays this way for more than a week or so pop back to see your artist, or any tattoo artist if that not possible for some tayliored advice!

i hope all tuns out well!

Answer 5

That's happened to me a million times. My tattoos always seem to go a little weird when I'm either sick or if the weather is really hot and humid. I always just rub lotion on them and take a Benedryl and they settle back down with no problems. If something like that doesn't work for you within a week, definitely see a doctor
