Don't let it dry out! Don't use rash cream! It sounds like you had an allergic reaction to the tattoo ointment, so switch it up! Try using something else than what you are using. Go to a tattoo studio and buy what they suggest to use. People break out in rashes all the time from oitments. Try bacitraction even. Letting it dry it will not help at all, its just going to scab up and get more itchy. If nothing else works, go back to the artist! And remember to wash it twice a day and pat dry!!

Make sure to wash it a regularly as possible. At least twice a day with mild soap. Also, make sure to wash your hands before you apply your ointment or lotion. You need to watch and make sure that there are no RED STREAKS going away from the tat. If so, this may be a sign of infection, and should be seen by a doctor.

Did they use a color that is not on the other 2 tats? Sounds like a allergic reaction more so than an infection.
DO NOT WASTE ONE MORE MINUTE ON THE COMPUTER. GO TO YOUR ARTIST RIGHT NOW!!! IF FOR SOME REASON YOU CANT SEE HIM SEE ANY TATTOO ARTIST , AND IF YOU DONT DO THAT, GO TO A DOCTOR.
Please.

Go to the doctor,immediately! It's possible it's infected. Are you sure the tattoo artist used a sterilized needle? Get thee to a doctor!

go up to your local tattoo shop and talk to them, they may be able to talk to you and help you out. I have never had this problem and I have 11.
