I have a tattoo on my upper arm of my sons name. I have had it about 5 years. In one spot every once in awhile something shows up that looks like a deep pore. One time i decided to squeeze it and it popped kinda like a blackhead, except what comes out is pure white and alot of it. I have other tats that dont do it. Just wondering if anyone else has had the same experience or any tattoo artists that have heard of this phenomenon.

An ingrown hair can lead to a condition called folliculitis where the hair follicle gets like infected. See a dermatologist. They have medicine they can give you and clear it right up

My Dad had something like that. It has nothing to do with having a tattoo though.
We could squeeze it and squeeze it and this white stuff would come out all the time, like a little piece of cotton almost.
He had it for about 15 years - he eventually got it lanced and cut out last year. It was just an ingrown hair or something, but best to get those things out.
