Hi\nI am a tattoo artist and I have never heard of any case where dieing your hair has interfeared with a tattoo. Now If the tattoo is on your head and its still healing then I can understand you would have a few problems. But as long as the die dosent get on a healing tattoo your fine.\n\nwww.studiomaxx.ca

It's possible.  If there are artifical flavorings, preservatives, or coloring, that are in the brand you buy, they could be the cause of itching.

It not impossible - you could be allergic to the preservatives or other ingredients in the solution.  More likely, you were nervous about the test or the needle and the anxiety gave you hives.

You need to make sure that your tat is COMPLETELY healed before going....if it is, put the highest SPF you can find on it and bandage it with the non-stick gauze (curad works the best) and tape....Make sure it is completely covered so you don't lose the color...if it gets too hot or you can feel it burning, either put a towel over it or get out!!Good Luck!!

I had similar bumps once when I was in a cast. They took the cast off and all these little itchy bumps were underneath. It had been driving me nuts. My doctor said it was an allergic reaction, probably to the dye in the coloured cast. I took some benadryl, used calamine lotion and the bumps went away within a week. Have you worn something new without washing it? It's probably an allergic reaction to something new that you've come into contact with. You can either see your doctor and ask for an allergy test or just treat the symptoms and hope they go away and never come back.

hmmm. It sounds like an allergic reaction to UV rays, meaning photo-sensitivity. I'm mildly photosensitive and I get the same kind of rash if I go out with out the SPF50 sunscreen than my doctor recommended. Give up on tanning and talk to your doctor. It sounds like you're photosensitive.

I don't think there is one.  I checked a few phobia sites and couldn't find anything relating to ink or makeup.

1.  Hepatitis and AIDs can be transmitted by a non-new needle.\n2.  Many people are allergic to the dye, particularly the red dye.\n3.  Tattoos will often cause keloids.  If you are keloid-prone, you should not get a tattoo.  Keloids are bumpy growths on the skin, usually arising from scar tissue areas.  They can be removed but often grow back as a bigger keloid.\n4.  Tattoos don't stay pretty.  They smear and fade.  This is because your body considers the dye a foreign object.  It has nothing to do with the quality of the dye.  Cells divide.  \n5.  Talk to older people you see who have tattoos and ask them about it.  I don't know if you consider psychology a health issue, but many folks end up wanting the tattoo removed later.  When it looks ugly or when their lives change.

It could be anything from a buildup of something in her system and a reaction to that to an allergy on the outside of her skin from something outside.  It's best when dealing with children and painful eruptions to just take them to the emergency room and get a professionals advice.

No, it will not make you sick. Your skin may absorb some f the dye but it won't harm you. They're supposed to be non-toxic.

This skin reaction might  come on so suddenly eliminating  most of the causes of jewelry smudges and reactions on the skin.   This  “allergy” may be in-fact better called an extreme “sensitivity” to certain things.\n\nTHE PRIMARY CULPRIT MIGHT BE WHITE GOLD.  \nThe recipe for jewelry gold is generally pure gold, mixed with certain amounts of copper, silver and smaller amounts of other metals.  The recipe is melted into a uniform metal.  This is what makes the “karat” golds and determines the karat. For instance, 14 kt gold will have 14 parts pure gold and 10 parts made of other metals.  The total is 24 parts.  Think of pure gold as 24 karat and this makes sense.  Pure gold is mixed with other metals and the result is called an alloy, or mix of metals made to produce a metal made for a specific purpose.  \n\nGold is alloyed with other metals to make it strong enough for jewelry wear and to make the color desired.  Color?  Pure gold is very yellow.  White gold is an alloy or mix of metals with  the white colored metal NICKEL  added.  Some white gold uses another metal but most uses nickel.  Nickel makes the alloy a white color: The metal is “almost white” and sometimes a tinge of the yellow will show slightly.\n\nWhy is WHITE GOLD the likely culprit?  It is the nickel in the alloy.  Some people cannot wear white gold at all, since they are sensitive to nickel.  This is not uncommon at all.\n\n Generally, a sudden change in sensitivity indicates either a change in  the body chemistry, a change on what is “on” the skin(cosmetics, etc.) or some more outside environmental change.  Keep in mind, there is at least one solution that does work for many women even if it must be repeated ever so often.  \n\nBody chemistry is affected by medicines, diets, etc.  Medicines are the quickest to bring possible changes in body chemistry(and changes in perspiration, etc.) which may cause sensitivity to metals, especially the nickel in white gold.  Different hand lotions or cosmetics play a limited role in this, with the cosmetics being minute abrasives that actually will scrape away minute portions of the metal from jewelry.  Of course, that is generally a neck and ear problem, not on fingers!\n\nPhysical changes in hormones and just about anything can affect the skin, though skin oils and perspiration play a part.  \n\nExternal conditions which have changed or changes to the jewelry itself may play a part in the sensitivity dermatitis reaction.  For instance, salty air in a beach  or ocean type area can lead to a combination of chemical salts that form from the air and perspiration and moisture which can affect gold.  If these chemicals are not cleaned from the jewelry often, reactions can happen.  You will not “see” the chemicals and cleaning is recommended often.  A gentle wash with a dishwashing detergent(never use soap!!!) is sufficient.\n\nChlorine is a major problem with white gold.  This means swimming pools, hot tubs, having your hands and ring in bleaches, etc.   Chlorine actually reacts with the metals in the white gold mix.  This can cause prongs to break, cracks to form and quite possibly allow more contact with the skin of the “nickel” parts of the alloy.  You see, while most yellow gold does not react significantly to chlorine, nickel based white gold can actually be “corroded” in a microscopic way.   The microscopic damage might just allow more chemical nickel metal contact with the skin.

Body Modification Ezine has free galleries of hundreds of tattoos as well as advice and experience from people with tattoos and tattoo artists.\n\nWARNING This site is not work safe, child friendly or for the faint of heart! I'm okay with most everything but some images on this site actually start to make me feel ill (though that's probably because I've gone through all kinds of piercings, both giving and receiving).

i have a celtic cross tattoo with a vampire hidden in the lines.  to add to the above response.  Do you really know how many of those people are tattooed and you just don't see.  I have six tattoos, all pretty large and NO ONE knows if I chose to dress appropriately.  I was even a bridesmaid in my sister's wedding!!!  Personal expression is changing. tattooing is no different than hair dye, earrings or clothing choices.  I bet if jobs were given on looks alone, i (with my six tattos) would get a job before a slovenly dressed man or women with too much lip[stick.  Judging  a book by it's cover over.  Expression says alot to people about your person.
