Itchy bump in the ink of wrist tattoo.....

Hi

I have a inner wrist tattoo that I've had about a year now......a couple weeks ago I noticed that the tattoo was itchy and while I was scratching it I noticed a bump in the black ink.....it is a single bump.......no new ones have surfaced in these 2 weeks and it is still very itchy!!

Anyone have ANY idea what this could be? I would take a pic but it's REALLY hard to see.......
Thanks so much in advance!!!

Lisa

If you did not have the bump soon after the tattoo was done then there is not an infection due to the ink or an allergy to the ink. It could b a cyst. Go see your doctor. They will figure it out. But i do know about ink and allergic reactions. I THINK its a cyst. If so they can lance it i the office. Hope this helps and u get it taken care of. Take care.
