i've never had a zit on the back of my hand, so i'm not sure what it could be. the tattoo is 3 months old so definitely healed. i was supposed to get this part touched up, but is it safe to tattoo over the bump? what could this be? thanks :)

It doesn't look like a zit to me. I wouldn't get a touch up on any skin that had an issue. Wait for it to heal.

I don't know how old you are - but in any case as you get older you will notice all kinds of new shit and other blemishes developing on your body. Most won't be tattoo related. 😉

ok, thanks guys. i guess i'll just have to wait longer to touch it up. 

i know i should see a dermatologist for these things, but i don't want them to be like "biopsy" or "remove tattoo". when i look at it closely (hard to see because of ink covering it, i know), it looks like a small darker indent dot center like how ingrown hairs look, so maybe it is just an ingrown hair. i'm ok with waiting to get touched up, my main concern is just if it's anything super serious i should worry about since it's been three months since i got the tattoo and hair should've grown back by now. anyway, thanks.

I've had a spot like that on a tattoo I got 9 years ago. It's just a bump. I think you are worrying too much. Just wait a while and see what happens with it. I've never heard of a dermatologist telling someone to get a tattoo removed.

yeah, i know you're probably right. my brain always goes to worse case scenarios lol. it's on a part that cracked and scarred a little even though it healed totally flat, so my first thought was it's a keloid that's going to turn into this huge thing taking over half my body despite not even being a person prone to keloids, or that a derm would have to take a huge chunk out of it for biopsy messing up my tattoo, or it's skin cancer, etc etc. Ridiculous, i know lol. i'm sure it's nothing like you say though and i know i'm worrying too much heh. 

did you ever find out what it was for you and did it end up going away? 

 

thanks for your reply btw.

No idea what it is. I got the tattoo touched up. It's still there. It's fine.

But yeah, don't do that worst case scenario thing. No tattoo is going to be perfect, and you are likely to obsess like that, I really wouldn't get any more tattoos because you will drive yourself insane.

      Thanks. And u just made me laugh, I guess my comment sounded conceded, and I did not mean to sound that way. I guess I'm in freak out mode because it's so on display. I don't think anything will ever meet my expectations because of where it is. So on display. My friend is actually going to my tattoo guy BECAUSE of this tattoo. Removal is not an option. I wont do that. I do have crippling anxiety due to having multiple sclerosis. I'm overly critical of this tattoo. The design is a sun with sun rays  that wraps around and up over my shoulder and a lotus below it. I don't like flowers. Just lotuses. Haha. So it's not your typical flowers down the arm tattoo. It's actually a unique design. I love yoga and zen things although from my post...I don't sound so zen. Haha. I've been going thru it now since summer started. I would say it's going in a while. I wear it out, got a compliment from someone at the gas station, I just don't look at it myself with it. It makes my stomach sink. Like I ruined myself. I'm ocd about it. I continue to get tattoos tho. I dont want to be a lunatic over it either. I always said I would never tattoo my upper arms and I did. And for the life of me, can't figure out why I did that. I was living in the moment I guess. So, if the reality of the tattoo doesn't meet my expectations,  what do u do for that? Add to it? Thank you for responding to me. I appreciate it a lot. I feel like I lost my mind over thos. I just got another tattoo on my forearm, and love it, it's smaller. Maybe that's why. I don't know. I allowed thos to be placed somewhere I never wanted ot, I approved it loved it afterwards and now....maybe cause it's so on display. I'm not used to having such big visible tattoos. Like, why cant I just be cool about it. I LOVE tattoos.

      "I'm very fit and complimented all the time how tone my arms are" So if you were fat and out of shape it would be OK?  🤣 Tattoo Anxiety is not unusual, but it really depends on how long it goes on for. Has it been weeks, months, years? You really don't have a lot of options. Despite what laser removal centers would have you believe, you'll never get totally rid of it. Any cover up will need to be even bigger and bolder, don't let any "artist" tell you differently.  Given the tone of your post, "I'm very fit and complimented all the time how tone my arms are," "My artist is extremely talented, there is not 1 shaky line, crooked line," "The line work is out of this workd, perfectly straight," "Everyone loves it" it sounds like the reality of the tattoo doesn't meet your expectations.

      Hello, So I'm new here and reddit is just awful people so, I wanted advice. So for some reason, I allowed a tattoo be blasted down my arm. My fault I know. I'm very fit and complimented all the time how tone my arms are. So, I got a sun over a lotus tattoo. My artist is extremely talented, there is not 1 shaky line, crooked line, and hes not cheap. Hes been tattooing me and my husband a long time. The line work is out of this workd, perfectly straight. Its a bold tattoo. All black. Everyone loves it. But for some bizzare reason, I can not look at myself in the mirror at this tattoo. Has this ever happened to anyone before? It's healed, but all I do is cover it and hide it. Has this happened to anyone? It turned out bigger and bolder than I ever imagined. From my shoulder to about 3 inches above my elbow.
