Bump in tattoo has me worried

[marfil98]

Hey everyone, so I got a tattoo about a month ago. When I first got it everything was fine but I noticed a tiny bump in part of it. Barely noticeable, a week later it bubbled up more, which caused me to think it was a pimple so I left it alone. Three weeks later, after it got worse I tried to pop it. It leaked a combination of water, blood and red ink (definitely not blood...too red) now, after leaving it alone for a few days, it's shriveled up and looks pretty gnarly. Has this happened to anyone else before? I'm more worried about f***in' up the tattoo than my skin. Before and after pics included.

Two things, leave it alone and go see your artist. I had a similar bump that lasted for almost 3 months but finally went away!

Ok, this honestly made me laugh.

Yeah looking at it that's probably what it is. I'll just leave it alone before I make it worse...hopefully it'll fix itself. Will update if it gets better/worse.
