Finished the entire arm, took a little under a year and a half. One last touch-up on everything to clean it up. Unfortunately, my artist is moving 5 hours away in July. Feel free to leave any comments or criticism.

I had to go back and look a few times. I swear I thought he was getting red inked in. I agree with Hogrider, doctor ASAP. Definitely not something a forum needs to diagnose.

Latest one. I don't care what anyone says. Chest hurts. My other arm is tattooed from shoulder to finger tip, but wow this just hurt.

how old is the tattoo ?
i have lines that raise up like that all over, mine seem to be seasonal and a function of temperature/humidity as well as how heavy my tattooist was on me when we made the tattoo. I had a leg tattoo that itched for years and now it's fine. i'm not a medical professional, but appears to me that you're situation (from the photo) is not so dire that you need to cut out and ruin the tattoo to do some science lab tests. you could also try epsom salt bath for less invasive approach and see if that helps.

A little over 6 months. There was a section next to that one (same elbow tattoo) that raised up and went away. But I was in some store where I think a scent caused a lot of my arm to go red then bumps popped up in that new location. The next day the lines were raised and itched. It's been getting better and almost no itching now. So it's probably just an allergic thing. But yeah, that was my issue just seemed drastic to slice up my tattoo for something that offers almost no benefit.

Almost done with this sleeve. I've got to figure out a few more filler pieces. Not really sure what background to go with. This is almost a year in
