Hi
You seem to have developed reaction at the site of tattoo .
Such a skin reaction could be allergic in nature and could be due to the chemicals and dyes used .
Regular application of topical steroid creams along with antihistamines and also oral steroids in some cases have to be given .
You should see a dermatologist for proper assessment and management,
