The dermatologist was useless, they actually only said "well I dont have tattoos so I don't know what it is"...Justifies their paycheck right? I've been trying to exfoliate it some, I've been putting a charcoal mud mask on it for five minutes then rinsing, and have not not been putting any other lotion on. That seems to be helping die the bumps down and the itchiness some. Thanks for the responses!

I had been using the same lotion on both. I've requested an appointment with a dermatologist but wanted to see if anyone has experienced anything similar and did it go away. I'd hate for the ultimate answer to just be laser it off.

Eternal Ink was the brand name and the same exact colors were used for both. Heres another photo. The bumpy/itchiness is actually in the black, purple and blue. But only on the one bird and not the other.

The first tattoo I got was a year and a half ago and everything went fine with it. I decided to get another and two months ago I got a tribute to Odins ravens. I have one bird more on my shoulder and the other is on my chest. The bird on my shoulder is fine, no complaints. The same ink was used for both, got them done at the same time in a clean studio. About a week and a half ago the bird on my chest started itching and I'm developing bumps. There is no redness just itchy bumps within the tattoo. It does sit under my bra strap. Everything on the internet seems to point toward allergy and I wonder why the other bird isnt doing the same. Advice? Thank you!!
