2022-01-29 17:00:22
Hi, I got a tattoo 4 years ago, and it healed really well, without any infection. Now after so long, it keeps get really itchy and warm time after time. I noticed that the inked area was very bumpy today, like hives. Is this normal? If not, could you please suggest some ointment or something.
