Hello,
Thanks for the query,
You might have developed an infection in the tattoo.

Treatment with oral as well topical antibiotics is required.

Once the pus is controlled you can use aloe vera lotion.

This will help in regeneration of skin.

Please meet a dermatologist for final diagnosis and treatment

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
