bumps on tattoos - tanTALK

tanned&tattooed · 05-21-2002, 08:59 AM

Every spring when my skin starts seeing sun more my tattoos that are exposed get itchy bumps. I wear sunblock when out for long periods of time. If I scatch them they will break open and are watery. I've spoke to a couple health care professionals and they don't know what it is. This year only my newest (on my entire forarm) is effected right now (it was done last June). I have read in some atricles they say tattoos can be photosensitive. Any explaination? Thanks!

Sounds like it, the ink may make you more sun sensitive, it could be your skins reaction to 2 stresses, the sun light as well as the ink. The inks are not a normal thing for the body to live with.
Anyone hear of this problem?
