Well, is it the tattoo, or something your putting on it???? There could be several answers....

Is is a new tattoo?? What did your Dr. say??? The only way you would know if you are actually allergic to it is to have seen a Dr.

Let's start with the obvious.... If it's a new tattoo, chances are it's what you are using on it...Many tattooists suggest a anti-biotic ointment such as Neosporin or triple anti-biotic, both of which contain neomycin, which 3 out of a 100 people will react to..next tattoo try bacitration which does not contain neomycin.....

Let's say you've had the tat for a while and when you get into the sun it raises up and gets swollen in the red areas, which indicates that your having a daylight reaction to mercuric oxide...Which a lot of red inks contain...The only thing you can do is to ask the artist next time not to use any red or red mixed inks...

Not being able to see the tattoo it is the best I can do....Hope it helps
