this isnt normal, you are probably infected or being such damaged skin it isnt taking well, go see your doctor who will give you some cream!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
first, why don't you try talking to the artist that inked you!? thats always a good place to start!.
its possible that the particular ink used isn't reacting well with your skin and your skin could just need some extra time to get used to the ink!. that happened to my friend and sometimes she would just get mini flare ups on her red ink that was just an allergic reaction!. sometimes my chest piece will do that if i don't keep enough sunblock on it and i go out in the sun too long!.
i wouldn't be too worried just yet, i'm sure your skin isn't going to fall off!. i would definitely go to the artist before the doctor since tattoo artists have more experience in tattoos and the possible after-effects than a doctor would!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Are the spots like whiteheads!? If so, you may have a staph infection!. Keep it clean and don't pick at it!. Clean it with antibacterial soap and put a very thin layer of antibacterial ointment on it!. Do this two or three times a day!. Do not scratch it at all, because if it is staph, it can spread!. If you have any pets, keep them away from the tattoo for a while!. Treat it as an open wound!. If it gets worse, I would see a doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
a simalar thing happend to my boyfriends, after he had his done and it turned out the ''artist'' that did it had gone to deep into the skin and it caused hos tattoo to bubble, he went to a different person and he sorted it out for him now it looks nice! go see a different tattooist!Www@Answer-Health@Com
could be a slight infection nothing to do with the tattooist it just happens sometimes, see gp for a mild antibiotic other than that maybe just a reaction to the ink particularly if its red,green,yellow!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
