I Got A Red Bump Popped Up On My Shoulder. What Could Be This ?

I got a tatoo on my left shoulder a week ago, i put a&d ointment on it and i started breaking out in a rash and stopped using it, since then exactly a week after getting it a red bump popped up on my shoulder, looks like a pimple, sore and red circle around it, then the next day one popped up on my arm, same symptoms, the bump is sore and is warm. Any suggestions ?
