    Hey guys, what’s up?
    So, i got a tattoo on my forearm on January 17th (less than a month ago) and the part with the red Ink is bumpy and itchy.
    I’m just not sure if it’s an allergy with the red ink, or a overworked spot. Is possible to flatten the raised area, or it’ll be like that forever?
    is there something that I cant do, besides waiting?

    Here’s some pictures taken right now:

    I’ve had red ink tattoos heal real well, and I’ve had some heal horribly.

    Give it time. It may take a few months.

    Is it suppose to look like that? (the red)

    Take some benadryl and see if that helps. The likelihood that that is overworked is pretty slim.

    Since only the red looks like that it could be an allergy. Nothing to do now but wait and see how it heals. Like Buttwheat said, try a little benadryl. Good luck.

    Red is the most common color to have an allergy with….supposedly. I personally have a hard time healing red.
