Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
I would keep a possibility of Allergic contact dermatitis to tattoo pigment with secondary bacterial infection.
Itching and bumps that you see are due to Allergy to tattoo pigment. If I was your treating doctor I would have advised topical application of a steroid+antibiotic cream twice daily for 2 weeks along with an oral antihistamine e.g cetrizine 10mg once daily for symptomatic itch relief.
