Hello – newbie here and firstly I hope I’m doing this right.

Recently got my 2nd tat (5 weeks ago) with a minor touch up 2 weeks ago. Was all going well until about a week ago/week after my 20 min touch up when I noticed in parts it is raised, cracked and shiny. Not convinced it’s part of the healing process hence why I am posting here.

Went back to the tattooist and he advised to just to wash 3-4 times a day with non scented soap and pat down. I have done this and the raised skin has went down but not completely and it itches like hell/ feels warm. It is also very cracked and shiny like snakeskin in parts – espically around a few of the edges.

I am am totally pc useless and not sure how to post photo,s  so I am asking advice without you guys getting a look which I appreciate is difficult. Does it sound like my tattooist went in too deep. He is highly regarded and works in one of the more reputable shops in Scotland.
