anyone having problems with red ink in there tattoos??


Question:
tats heal fine then months latter red swells up. 4differnt tatts on one guy swelled all at once after all had healed fine. one guy, bitten by spider after tat healed &just the red swelled.

Answers:
I have no problems with my tattoo and the red. Sometimes it swallens a bit, but not much. Another thing is that you don't want to have red in a tattoo, cause it will dissapear completely after some years.
Yellow have also been reported to swallow, but I don't know the reason.

Other Answers:
sounds like there's a problem with the ink.
Could be the tattoo artist. Every tattoo artist has their own technique. It's just a coincidence that it is all happening to the red ink. Maybe it's just more noticeable with the darker ink.
the red ink in my tat was the first to fade
I think I remember reading something about the red ink being more susceptible of causing an allergic reaction. Mine never bothered me, but I think there's something in the dye that a lot of people have reactions to.
