Cyst under tattoo?

[Jkeith]

This is a 5 week old tattoo, he had to tattoo around some acne spots I had. Going to get it touched up next week. There is a bump (almost feels like a cyst) doesn't hurt at all. Any thoughts?

My professional opinion, give it a month. If nothing changes go talk to your artist, and possibly see a doctor. 

I have a not so funny, funny story that relates to this topic.

I got a virgin mary piece tattooed on my inner forearm maybe 8 years ago. It healed up great in roughly a week. After 2 or 3 weeks, I had a weird bump develope and it kept getting bigger.. So my dumbass decided to pop it. After I got everything out of the puss pocket, I looked through the bloody pussy nasty mess and found a very small chunk of blue paper towel. My best guess, when I was getting the tattoo he cleaned his needle off with paper towel and a bit got stuck between the needles and then in my arm. As you stated in your post, it wasn't red or infected.. just a weird lump.
