Check the tatoo place you went to and if they dont know wht happened go to the hospital and check it out!Cause most people are allergic to most dyes on tatoos cause it will get down in your skin and cause allergic reactions cause many tatoos cause you to get different kind of diseases!I know it can cause skin cancer!And its probably a sign of skin cancer!When it is healing it only suppose to hurt no pumps or anyhting comes up!
-GOOD LUCK!

Have you exposed it to the sun? Your suppose to keep it covered from the sun and saturated with bacitracin until it heals. Go back to the place you got the tattoo from. Sounds like your infected.

Maybe you have an infection. I would go to the doctor to be safe and then tell the tattoo parlor that you went to. Maybe this is something they have seen before and they can tell you what to do, but I would go to a doctor just to be safe.

How reputable is the shop you went to? Have you followed all the directions the tattooist gave you for the care of the tatoo?

I am a former tattoo educator. Some people are allergic to the dye (especially the red dye).

sounds too me like it's healing. whatever you do don't pick it! let it scab over and heal on it's own. you could probably put a thin layer of vaseline on it and cover it w/ a band-aid and take some aspirin if it hurts. if the white bumps don't go away see a dermatologist.

Are you sure that's not the scab? And mine was sore for a while after - it's a rather traumatic experience for your skin. Go back in and see the artist who gave it to you if you're concerned, and don't pick at it, scratch it, or rub it.
