Hey guys, sorry to return after such time to bother you with my tattoo experience again. I decided to take some time to let it heal after I asked my initial question and I'm about to get another tattoo, but my itchiness and raisiness from the previous ones is yet to stop. I do not loose any lotion and can't find a pattern in the itchiness. It just sometimes happens. There's one particular part that looks very lumpy and I'm just worried about it again so I'm asking for an opinion... I just keep reading these articles about skin cancer and it's making me panic. Here's a link to a few close ups of the part I'm worried about. Thanks for the replies guys.

Ah, okay! Thanks! So I realize this question will seem ignorant as in why didn't I research these things. I did that but I got too much different information and got confused (and scared), everything from allergic reactions all the way to melanoma. Anyway off to the question; I have 4 tattoos done and the one my question is about is the newest which is also a cover up. I got it done a little less than 4 months ago. There are a few places that get my attention and are worrying me. Of course I will talk to the tattoo artist himself and maybe a dermatologist but I would also like to see what experienced people would think. The tattoo is done on my left arm between the inner bicep and the forearm. The first place that worries me is right between there, the place where there's a lot of friction going on. Going over the place with my finger the skin feels a little like a scab. I assume this is because of the friction going on there? Again, I have no idea. The place I'm talking about is the dark right between the arms (pictures added). Now the second area which is worrying me is right at the end of the tattoo. It's a rose and the places where there's most ink get raised and itchy randomly. This hasn't happened until recently. The reason I'm getting worried is because this is my 4th tattoo and I have never had this happen before. Everything has been perfect. None of the other tattoos have this and have been done by the same person. A thing I'm worried about with no basis - did he go too deep (dirty joke here) or too much ink? Thank you for sparing time reading through this chaos of a question!

Hey guys, new to the forum obviously. Here seeking advice from people who are more experienced, I actually tried going head first into asking a question into the forum but I was only able to make an introduction topic so I guess I have to do this first... I don't have much to say just a guy with a few tattoos. EDIT: I still can't click on any other forums except initiation, can you guys point me towards where I can ask my question?
