Could it be an allergy to the ink? You may becoming allergic to it? Actually yes, I knew someone that had a tat for 14 years and suddenly became allergic to it. Very uncommon but hey, when it's on your arm that's all that matters right? You could also take antihistamines such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl) which should get rid of the itch, BUT keep in mind that it's itching for a reason, and that you need to find out what that reason is, and not just keep taking Benadryl.... It's not the itch that you should be worried about, but what is irritating it to itch in the first place. |

Could it be an allergy to the ink? You may becoming allergic to it? maybe, it could happen. Your chemical make up could have changed. I don't know your age, and details..now I'm gonna have to go perv ya. Have you had any shots in the couple years? Ya know immunizations, any surgery.. Well, Ladylid answered my response. One's body doesn't not stay the same, or else we'd be skinney 20 year olds no matter how old we get. Stress will mess the body up, as Ladylid mentioned, shots, immunizations, surgery. I know for me, I used to never have issues with allergies till I lived with a smoker for 4 years, and that royally fricked up my system. The first year I got away from him, my body purged, and I was absolutely miserable with sinus infections and allergy issues. One can become allergic to jewelry, even if they weren't before, so it's always possible to become allergic to the ink. I lived with my dad who was a smoker for nearly 18 years, the when i joined the marine corp there were alot of smokers there and i inhaled alot of smoke while i was in the fleet, still hasnt effected me in any way which im really glad it didnt, ive also been sprayed with a mace like stuff in a gas chamber, ive inhaled loads of carbon from shooting my m16 and even the SAW gun.But even with all of that i still had the same old every once in a while itchy tat. Right, but you grew up with it, and your body adjusted as it grew. I didn't grow up with it, and I was alright til about the 2nd year in before it began affecting me. |

That's because your sending signals up your spinal cord to your brain that you are removing whatever is irritating it, even if you're not. As soon as your brain realizes that the irritant is still there, it starts itching again.... the aloe vera will stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which is good. BTW - don't just apply it to your tat, it's good for all of your skin

Yes, it is..I put it in my bath water. What.... no bubbles? Actually I would think the Aloe would make a bubble bath last longer. Anyone want to experiment and report back?

I had the same problem a couple years back with mine. I have had my tat for 20 years, and some times part of it would swell up. Out of the blue though, it just stop happening.

Remember, your skin is an ORGAN. Itching can be caused by disease, emotions and infections. Itching is a built-in defense mechanism, so it’s trying to tell you something...

At least once everyday my arm that has my tattoo on it itches like crazy,I scratch it but it just comes back the second i stop scrtaching it! is there a reason why its doing this? should i just keep scratching it or should i leave it alone? hmmm did you just recently get this tattoo? sounds like you have an alleric reaction to the red ink. Or a skin infection, the area that is tattoed also is usually very photosensitive. Either way, go see a dermatologist. |
