I'm not sure why this occurs, i'm currently having this happen now and was seeking an answer myself. I was bitten by a mosquito and the outline around my tattoo is raised like it was freshly done all over again. (Tattoo is 13 months old) Any answers would be greatly appreciated to curve my curiosity
