Probably an infection from getting a tattoo from a scratcher.

or a reaction from whatever you are using for aftercare.

Im sorry I dont understand ? whats a scratcher ?? as for after care im useing webber cream i bought at a tattoo place ..and im taking very good care of the tat .

I also asked the guy about it and he said its due to the ink he used and my body not being used to it ?

A scratcher……………

Scratcher defined….One who attempts to tattoo without proper training in the application of tattoo and proper medical procedures.

A scratcher is a person that tattoos somebody out of his kitchen (nonprofessional)
It doesn’t matter if you use the best stuff in the world but some people may have a reaction to it. STOP using whatever you are using and switch to a non scented lotion and apply it only twice a day using only a small amount.

Without seeing a picture, the small rash could be due to razor burn as well. Some people have a bad reaction to having the to-be-tattooed area shaved first. Hard to tell without seeing a picture (or knowing if you had the area shaved), but that, combined with a possible allergic reaction to either the ink or the lotion could explain it.

sometimes a reaction to zinc in ointments, you can just switch to one with no zinc,
some people allergic to laytex, just a reaction from the gloves, will go away on its own,
may be over moisturizing, keep it as thin as you can get, tattoo is a wound that must breath,
or shaving reaction,

show some pics, we will help you out
