Recently had two new tattoos and each have had spots and pimples blow up on and around the area. Both new tattoos were different artists and different tatoo studios. I have also sat 4 times before for tattoos on my user arm chest and thigh and never had this problem but I use to use bepantha cream but this time they got me to keep it covered for 3 days and use a different cream ? Freaking out a little bit as I thought it would be a one off with the one I had 6 weeks ago but now it’s happened to the one I got Saturday 🙁
Any help ?!
Cheers !

I don’t think you can as you are new but you could post a link to where it is posted.
As for your tattoo STOP putting anything on it and let it dry out.
IMO it has nothing to do with the tattoo,looks like a reaction to something else,is it a black & gray tattoo ? black ink is highly unlikely to cause a reaction also,unlike red that can cause reactions on some people,I say it’s a reaction to the “different cream” and cover material you used ? that’s just my opinion,
Yea the colour hasn’t been done yet so it’s black and white. Each time I’ve had massive brake out of spots it’s been for arm tattoos. I think maybe it’s the after care cream or having it covered tight in clingfilm for 3 days with lotion on and it not being able to breath ? They start around the tattoo then a couple days later I’ll get a few in that tattoo ?
Yea ok that’s what I’m doing now. Got some unsented soap to wash it with now as well. I’m just really worried/gutted that it’s happend twice in the past two months but hasn’t happend with my other 3 tattoos ? Making me think is it worth getting it coloured in if it’s gonna cause me this much trouble ? Anyone else ever had something like this ? A few of them look like ripe white head spots that are ready to pop?! (Nasty I know sorry ! )

just relax for now,my guess is the bumps will go away,use something medicated on your arm , go see your doctor,let it heal properly,wait a month then make a plan of what you want to do,
Thanks people! went to the doctors for the third time regarding this issue (twice the last time it happened) they are 100% sure that I have developed an allergy to the pigments in the tattoo ink…..soooo gutted. On their recommendation they said to not get any more work done for a couple of months at least….had to cancel two sessions with two different artists before christmas…they must be soo pissed off with me 🙁 They said If i need to get more work done to finish any tattoos to wait those couople of months and get it done in very short sitting like 1 hour slots every month or something. Was just wondering if anyone else has developed an allergy to ink before ?
