I used to get somethin' similar mate, it cleared up after a while. I wouldn't worry too much, but I would see a tattooist just for advice & peace of mind

When it 'appened to me I went to the doc & he fobbed me off sayin' the tat was causin' infection & it'd be a good idea in the long run to get it removed

I went to a different tattooist (for unbiased advise) & told 'im what the doc said & he said that he hears that alot

Honestly, so far, this Curel seems to be working just fine. The bumps seemed to have gone down, though, they aren't entirely gone yet.

I talked to the tattoo artist, and I'm posting this mainly because Kaprika said she had the same problems. He told me to use Vitamin E oil, or something that moisturizes and helps the skin. So, me using Curel was going in the right direction. He said that sometimes you may bump something or do something in general that will irritate your skin on the tattoo (it could be anything from a scratch that's not visible to just rubbing it wrong on something) and the bumps are just your skin reacting. He said it some cases the skin may be allergic (but he said he noticed it's been in mostly purpley or maroon colors) to the colors, but in my case (I have blue, he said he's yet to see someone be allergic to blue) it's probably just irritated. So yeah. Thanks all who commented and such.
