JessicaRae Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 This just looks like a skin reaction, check with a dermatologist or your PCP to be sure. If you have any doubt, just go to the doctor ❤️ oboogie 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/8219-bumps-on-black-ink/?page=2#findComment-141504 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get itchy time to time, I think it’s just sweat bumps or pimples but I wanted to get someone’s opinion. I know they’re hard to see. Sorry I'm not a doctor, so take my advice for what it's worth, but assuming it's not a fresh tattoo, I'd try rubbing alcohol to dry it out for a few days and see if that helps.

Rie Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Mine have just started doing this, it’s only my old tattoos though. I haven’t talked to my dr yet.

LauraD Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 How is your tattoo now with the sarcoidosis, my gp thinks I may also have this due to the same reaction on my tattoos, waiting to see a dermatologist 😳 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/8219-bumps-on-black-ink/?page=2#findComment-142423 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you read the whole thread? One of the people was diagnosed with Sarcoid granulomas. I'm NOT a doctor, but my first thought is over moisturized. I'd try rubbing alcohol for a few days.

JessicaRae Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 Hey everyone! Thanks for being such awesome people. @Hogrider the photos are of my tattoos, I was diagnosed with Sarcoidosis. Please go have the bumps biopsied by a doctor or dermatologist! ASAP. My bumps have since gone away. I have not been prescribed any medicine or had any treatments. I changed my diet from a healthy/clean/whole foods diet to primarily plant based diet and the bumps have almost vanished since.

Dawn Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I am experiencing the very same thing currently. Been searching all over to find out what and why. I found this and it is exactly what I’m experiencing. The only difference is I have quite a few tattoos and it is only happening with one and only on the first word. Weird it wouldn’t be the whole tattoo. I will be scheduling an appointment with my dermatologist for sure. This is very worrisome. My tattoo is about 6 months old and no issues up until 2 days ago. Crazy. I hate it.

Ck84 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 This happened to me 3 weeks ago. Just the black ink on 4-5 tattoos. It begin during the time a had a viral cold and hasn’t gone down since. I’ve tried ice directly on them thinking it was heat or a fever that triggered it and it doesn’t help. The newer pics look like their gone. How long did it take to go away.

I hope to post after photos in no time. Thank you all for your help and concern! xo So the doctors believe you already had sarcoidosis... And the granulomas are a side effect, that for some odd reason like black ink?? Just trying to make sure I understood your post correctly. 🙃 Because my bumps that I just noticed today are exactly like yours... And for maybe the last week and possibly previously if this is what it is....I have been having chest pain that I was totally freaking out about and being paranoid and thought was my heart, but in looking into sarcoidosis, it frequently affects your lungs!! So maybe I have some inflamed visitors in my lungs... Will definitely go to the doc ASAP, thanks for sharing your info. 😁 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/8219-bumps-on-black-ink/?page=2#findComment-144813 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimjim7568 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I've got the same bumps come up on black tattoos. Some are over 10 years old. Anyone else had any confirmation in what causes it?

WILLIAM Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) I have the same issue with my tattoos, it’s been about three years since I had them done and only recently (three weeks or so) I’ve started to get bumps! I wasn’t concerned at first, just hopping it would go down but it’s been three weeks and I still have them? I can’t upload a picture or otherwise I would! Very strange tho!

adda Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 It's been a long since this post, anyway I just found this paper talking about the sarcoid granuloma in black tatoos. Unfortunately, I also have those lumps in a tatoo I had done 4 years ago... at the beggining it was just so itchy and now the lumps are horrible. Apparently the allergy to the metals found in the ink might be the cause. I wanted to ask if you could get rid of them? https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0190962205049467 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/8219-bumps-on-black-ink/?page=2#findComment-147204 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yocc66 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I have this same thing happen to me. Some of my tattoos have it permanently and I have a lot of tattoos. Some of them have absolutely no bumps and healed fine. I love tattoos but these bumps are going to cause me to stop getting them. They drive me up the wall.

I read somewhere that you can have reactions to the sun on tattoos... is it just in the summer that it’s happening? Could be completely unrelated but just a thought.

LeaR Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Hi. I’ve had a foot tattoo for about 7 years and for the past 3/4 years bumps exactly like this appear in the black ink on my tattoo. This may sound strange but they usually appear this time of the year (March) and last right through to October. It is painful and the whole tattoo feels like it’s sunburn when it’s not been in the sun. I did mention. It to the doctor at another appointment but he just dismissed it as an allergy.

JellyCoconut Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I actually has this exact thing happen to my tattoo. Only in the black ink. My artist has no idea and never seen it before either. But mine look exactly like yours. I've had my tattoo for almost 2 years.
