I got a cover up tattoo 3 months ago, it's healed but for the past 2 weeks its been really itchy and it has bumps all over the tattoo! It's not where the old tattoo was, its all over. I haven't changed my diet, or laundry soap or even lotion! What's going on? My tattoo artist does have psoriasis....would that affect me?
PLEASE HELP...FREAKIN' OUT!

The fact that your tattoo artist has a skin issue does not mean you do, especially since what they have is not contageous and usually heritary anyways.
Bumps on tattoos after healing is not as uncommon as you may think-and usually can be caused by a reaction to the ink. My advice see a dermatologist as they will be best to give you guidance and what to do and if you can take some meds for it. Best of luck
