For those with ink..

Do you everfind that your lines become raised during exercise?

In the gym this morning I happened to notice that my entire left sleeve was raised, my forearm piece plays up every once in a while too.

Always subsides about 1/2 hour after Im done anyone else experienced this and what the possible cause is?

I got mine on my shoulder and never had that issue bro

Itchy? Mine used to get raised and itchy, I'm told it's because of a reaction to the ink, but really could be anything. I brush a bit of tea tree oil on it when it happens and that fixes it right up.

yeah this happens to me all the time, seems to be more often if I get hit in the arm or something, but it does raise after lifting sometimes too. also can happen from a shirt rubbing after a while

had this once recently - freaked me out and took an anti-histamine. seemed to do the trick - hasn't happened again.. .

red tattoo ink is notorious for skin reactions -seems to be the most intolerated colouring.. .

I think this is the exact same situation Im in. As I was chicking on my weight vest there was a bit of rubbing on the left and then it raised up, I was told today that its probably just the way its scarred and not a reaction to the ink. Which is a relief seeing as Ill be getting more as a 21st present to myself!

Most of mine is black work, and not down lower arms. I have not had an issue. I have stomach, ribcage, back, shoulders and legs.

Sounds like the OPs tattoo has been overworked a little; this means that it's probably been injected too deep and/or gone over too manytimes.

My first one got double outlined as the artist thought it would look better. Seein as Ive grown abit its gone real thick and munted also is raised a lot. Ill talk to my artist Im seeing tommorow and see If we can do something to make it look decent
