What are Itchy bumps on your tattoo?

In: Public Health and Safety [Edit categories]

Answer:

Itch bumps on a tatoo could be a sign of an allergic response to the metallic coloring used in some tatoos. If they are severe, consult a dermatologist soon (within 24 hours) and if "merely aggravating", you can try some 1% hydrocortisone cream, and if not better within 3 days, consult a dermatologist within the week.
