  1. I had a ten-year old tattoo reworked last Monday. This is my seventh tattoo, and I've never had any adverse reactions before. This is what it looked like right afterwards: By Wednesday, my arm was starting to become severely itchy and developing hives. Wednesday night, the bumps were spreading to my wrist and opposite arm. Took Benedryl overnight, no difference. By Thursday, my arm was swollen, red, hot to the touch, and extremely itchy. I went to urgent care and was prescribed oral Prednisone. Continued taking Benedryl. I've been on a combination of those meds for three days, and while the redness has diminished some, it's still very hot, swollen, and itchy. Talked to the artist, and she doesn't think it's anything to be too worried about. I'm getting married in ONE WEEK, so I need to get some relief and improvement. Anyone ever had experience with this, or can provide advice on what my next steps should be?
