   after you get a tattoo
   your skin will try to grow over the tattoo and after a while it will flake off .

   Its really hot out so u most likely sweat a lot and thats one of the ways you could get ur tattoo infected . . thats why people prefer to get tattoos during fall. Keep washing it and hide it from the SUN

   It might go away or it might not . . we wont know

   I also suggest taking photos of it and posting it here . some people prefer to see images so they could give you a good answer

   but dont worry about it if its infected it will go away , and u could touch up ur tattoo and it looks like new

   if your really bothered by it call your doctor or local clinic and go from there by calling before you go in can save you lots of time and money . if it was itching and red i would apply a thin coat of alcohol to sooth it the wrap it in saran wrap and hit the clinic
   p. s. the saran wrap will keep it out of contact from other materials the could further irritate it

   Are they pimple-like bumps? If so, you are over-moisturizing it. The pores are clogged and the raised bumps is the skin trying to expel the moisture. You should be applying a THIN layer of A & D on the tattoo, blotting with a paper towel to remove the excess for the first 3 days only. Then switch to a non-scented lotion like Eucerin.
