I had some extensive bold line work done on my arm approximately 4 weeks ago. I applied moisturizer 2-3 times per day for 2.5 weeks. I watched as the tattoo progressed through the various stages of healing. (I have a lot of ink, have used this artist extensively, have followed this after-care regimen in the past, and have never had any problems.)
After 3.5 weeks (5-6 days ago) I noticed that the lines suddenly raised significantly. I also noticed some little bumps under the lines spaced at irregular intervals. (Not all areas were affected.)
The tattooed area has always been covered to avoid sun exposure and I applied sunscreen to the area (in addition to covering it with clothing) when I took a trip to the beach two or three days before observing the "rise".
Now I'm wondering if the raised areas will "settle-down" to how they were prior to the sunscreen application or if they've been permanently changed/damaged.
Is there anything that I can do at this point?
