Does red tattoo ink really take longer to heal?
Some people have an allergy to red ink, or ink with with red mixed with it, and that’s what it sound like to me; especially if it’s raised. I’ve seen tattoos of people with an allergy to the red years later and they still had trouble with it/ Your artist should know the ingredients of the ink he used on you, so ask him and find out if it’s anything you might be allergic to. There are different metals used in inks, and most people with a shell fish allergy are allergic to red inks.
