Cyst under tattoo?

[Jkeith]

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.

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.

Lol, I can go with the leave it alone advice. At worst, it just stays as is I suppose.

I've noticed bumps that I would swear weren't there before a tattoo but in reality, they were. Let it heal. :)

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.

I also noticed what feels like a bump under my skin on my upper arm tattoo, seems like its nothing to worry about. :)
