Jkeith Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 (edited) This is a 5 week old tattoo, he had to tattoo around some acne spots I had. Going to get it touched up next week. There is a bump (almost feels like a cyst) doesn't hurt at all (except if I push pretty hard on it). Any thoughts? Few options being 1) leave it alone 2) let doc poke it. I don't think it's an infection. It's not warm and no redness. Edited November 17, 2017 by Jkeith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingerninja Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Hey there....leave it alone, no poking or prodding by you or anyone else. :) Most likely will eventually go away. Give it a month or so. Your skin has been traumatized (just the nature of tattooing), so getting a bump is not anything to freak out on.

At worst, it just stays as is I suppose. Gingerninja 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingerninja Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I've noticed bumps that I would swear weren't there before a tattoo but in reality, they were. Let it heal. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colored Guy Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I have one now on my arm, I leave them alone and they heal a little slower. The entire tattoo will heal at different rates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sauraman37 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I also noticed what feels like a bump under my skin on my upper arm tattoo, seems like its nothing to worry about. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
