You can take acetaminophen or ibuprofen, as your doctor prefers, for inflammation and/or pain. Otherwise, keep the area clean and free of infection, applying a gentle lotion a couple of times a day to keep the area hydrated. You might also like to keep a clean bandage over the area for a few days--be sure it stays clean and that you change it once or twice a day.

If there are any signs of infection (serious swelling, fever, puss, blood, etc.), go see a doctor ASAP. If you see any radiating black lines that is a sign of a life-threatening infection, for which you should go to the emergency room immediately.

Itching and pealing are normal for new tattoos to heal.... leave it alone and keep it moisturized... Aquaphor ointment is the best.

Why are my inguinal lymph nodes swollen after a tattoo?

You don't say where the tattoo is. They shouldn't be swollen unless you got the tattoo under your armpit. I have 14 tattoos and never have had a problem. You may have an infection. Go see a doctor.
