Old tattoo outline is itching and welting...?
I have a tattoo on my upper left arm which is about 14 years old, and a full sleeve on my right arm which is about 4 years old. Every now and again for the past year or so, I've noticed the outline on either of the tattoos is welting up a little bit and itching like crazy. I've taken good care of all my tattoos and only get this problem with the tats on my arms. Does anybody know WHY it would itch and get irritated years after the ink was done??

Visit the FDA website, maybe you'll find your answers there.

There's nothing wrong with you. This happens to almost everyone with tattoos.
Generally it's from stress, or at least more people notice it when they're stressed. Nothing is wrong with the tattoo, or you.
