Best Answer

I have a tattoo of two swallows on either side of my chest. I had them for about a year and then all of the sudden I got a raised, bumpy, itchy rash on them. I did a bunch of research and discovered that some people have Allergies to certain inks. Most often you are not allergic to all the ink, but rather you are allergic to a specific color, so you will only get the rash in that area (mine only gets the rash where the blue ink is, for example). Also, it is usually sun exposure that causes the rash to flare up. Mine only appears when I am in the sun for a long time or if I go tanning. Otherwise it is fine. I have had the tattoo for 5 years now and it still happens when I am in the sun. Usually, after you have had the tattoo for awhile and it has healed, the only thing that can cause a rash or irritation like that is an allergy to the ink.

you need to moisturize it with any non-scented lotion. and possibly get it re-touched.
