even if there was a photo posted, the lumpiness isnt visually evident, you have to feel the tattoo

no i dont beleive is keloid scarring, because its not sore and itchy as some keloid scars are. i think its just the artist had a heavy hand on me, because its along my ribs and possibly was harder to tattoo along the bumps of my ribs, so she pushed harder. other than the lumpy feeling, i have no other symptoms

this was my first tattoo altogether, but my mate got one straight after me by the same artist and his isnt lumpy like mine

yes its raised on the tattoo, not around it. I have 5 symbols and none are them are flat and smooth
