Well, it's tough to say.  You could go back to the place that pierced you and ask.  You could go see a doctor.  You may have ripped it a bit... if it is really red and oozing and irritated it may be infected, in which case you will need antibiotics.  So if it gets worse or doesn't get better or you get a fever go to a doctor immediately.

Ask what symptoms you can be watching for that have significance.  Such as how to tell if it is getting blocked/infected.

They way you tell if it's infected is if it is red and swollen.  Scabs will turn all kinds of colors, but if the surrounding area is raised and red (or if the red is starting to spread further than the scrape) then you have an infection.  Don't use the peroxide or cream anymore.  You need to let the scab get hard.  Just cover it losely.  Soon, you can leave all cover off of it.  If it gets all red, then you need to see a doctor.

- If the ink is poisonous.\n\n- If ink gets to penetrate through your skin.

There might be some soreness after any surgical procedure, however some signs might suggest infection and warrant seeking early attention.  I would advise to seek attention before Thursday, if:\n- you have fever\n- if the area has become red, warm and more painful than it was  (you  can expect some pain and redness, but it should not be \n  MORE painful, redder or warmer than before).\n- if there is discharge coming from the wound (not blood, but pus-like discharge;  try to press lightly around the wound and see if \nyou can express  some discharge from it).\n\nHope it helps

The first symptom may be a small, painless pimple or lesion occurring on the penis or vagina. It is often unnoticed. The infection then spreads to the lymph nodes in the groin area and from there to the surrounding tissue. Complications may include inflamed and swollen lymph glands which may drain and bleed.The onset of symptoms varies widely. The initial lesion may appear from three to 30 days after exposure.

Usually a sloppy tattoo done with ink and an improvised needle (like a guitar string).\n\nJailhouse tats are pretty easy to spot, having one says a lot about how you see yourself.

It could be a pimple, a bug bite, a rash, a pen mark, etc.  You didn't provide enough details for anyone to know.

Other insect bite, insect sting, ingrown hair, other unknown puncture or abrasion.\n\nIt could be a lot of different things. If it's "like" a spider bite, it could be a spider bite. There doesn't have to be two fang marks. The bite could be very tiny with a large welt as a result of the reaction to the bite.

It's the flesh-eating virus.  Get your leg amputated immediately!  J/K  I get little patches of the same thing on occasion just under my armpits.  I just apply a little Vaseline cream, and it clears up in a day or two.  No pain, no itching or irration.  Just a little strange.

you need to take the child to the doctor ...this is a possible sign of infection.....are there any bite marks (like a spider bite) at one end or the other...usually these will start at the point of injury and lead towards the heart

I just recently got my first tattoo (about 3 weeks ago).  It is the ancient runes symbol for my zodiac sign (Leo) on my right shoulder.  I was scared as hell going into it, but it seriously did not hurt as much as people told me it would!  The little bit of pain I had felt like a bad sunburn and it only lasted a few mintues during the whole procedure.  However, it totally depends on the body part you are getting the tattoo on and your level of pain tolerance.  I think getting the fillings in my teeth hurt worse than getting my tattoo.

My friend had a tattoo removed...it's very painful! but it is effective in removing the tattoo image... however there is a scar.

If theyre on your legs, i would probably say ingrown hairs. Could be a rash of some sort also.
