My Tattoo Feels..............

4 messages · last activity 1/27/2006

I've had a tattoo for a little over 5 years. Got it at an established shop in New Mexico. No problems at all, healed great. All went well for about 2 2-1/2 years, then every now and then the whole outline raises. I t feels just like it's a new tatt. I doesn't hurt, but, I've asked dozens of people, including several artists, and no body can explain why. It usually lasts about 5 minutes and then it just goes away. Any answers would be greatly appreciated........
this has been asked before and after doing some research i finally found out some of the following.1 barometric air pressure 2 stress 3body reaction from sweat 4 being tired 5 exercising the list goes on but i have found from past conversations with folks that have had the same issue that it was normally due to the fact that they were working a little harder that day and under more stress.in all cases it was not the fact of going to deep it is just the bodys way of a normal reaction of life in general.hope this helps.oh also diet if you have introduced your body to new foods or even meds those could also cause this
I've had this happen as well to my arm tribal band. Totally raised sometimes..never knew why though
