I recently got a new half-sleeve tattoo (my last session was in mid-December). It's been about four months, and ever since I got the tat my arm has had this constant irritation feeling. It's not the new tattoo "healing" itchy feeling; I've had two other rather large tattoos and I know the sensation well. This is more of a rough-fabric-on-fresh-acne/itch-under-the-collar-after-fresh-haircut kind of feeling. It hasn't subsided at all in the four months I've had it, though sometimes shaving the area or using a rubbing alcohol wipe seems to help temporarily. My artist is completely at a loss to explain this and I'd really like to solve the problem. Has anyone else encountered anything like this? Any thoughts on what to do? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
