Hi everyone, let me start off saying I'm 60plus years old and have a brief question for anyone who can help me. 

I got a tattoo when I was 55 years old to celebrate my retirement and in honor my mother and grandparents from Scotland. I got a thistle on my outside, lower left ankle. It's about 3" high. My question is, I've had it now for over 10 years and for the last year or so I notice it is bumpy and itches. The bumps are like the size of small peas and are all within the lines of the tattoo. Has anyone ever heard of this? Is there anything I should be afraid of and is there any way to fix this? Thank you for any help you can offer me and stay well !!

Thank you for your help. I did do a search a while back and there was something about having an MRI done. I guess they are supposed to cover it or something...it said it raises the red pigments in the tattoo. 

 

Would love to hear from others if it has happened to anyone else.

I know this is kind of old but I wanted to put my input on this so I am allergic to everything except my tattoos when my tattoos come in contact with something I’m allergic to the hive and look really weird thankfully it goes away after a week or so

Thank you for your response! It's never too late as I am still looking for opinions on this. Mine has been like this for a couple of years or so now. With the pandemic, I haven't wanted to go have it looked at. Again, I thank you for your help and if anyone else has any input, I'm more than happy to hear it! ☮️

      big Problem after tattooing.

      By zomno · Posted

      Hey, I have a serious problem! I got a tattoo in Manila 4 weeks ago. The artist is very well known and is one of the most renowed. 2 day after tattooing, small pimples began to form on my thight an many at the tattoo. 3 days later i had fever at night (just at night). After that, the pimpels began to spread very quickly all over the body. (back stomach etc..) I have now been to 3 doctors and everyone is at a loss. The blood work is fine and with no anomalies. Antibiotic ointment and cortisone ointment did not help. Xyzall allergy tablets did not help either. When i took cortisone tablets, 90% of the pimpels disappeared on the tattoo, but not on the other parts of the body. Now that I´am no longer taking cortisone, the pimpels on the tattoo are starting to grow back again very quick. On the other parts of the skin , the pimpels are sometimes lighter and sometimes stronger. This can be change hourly. They don´t hurt and hardy lever itch. Of course I´am afraid of a tattoo allergie. Has anyone already had this problem ? Does anyone know what that could be ? I add photos: 1) Photo directly after tattooing. 2) 2 Photos with the pimpels after a week 3) After 3 weeks while taking cortisone. 4) Photo of the body on the left.
