Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood your concerns. Due to inflammation over the area of tattoo you have got enlarged lymphnodes which will disappears in days. If you are more concerned about that then you can consult your treating doctor but in my opinion it is not necessary unless and until you have not get rid of that problem. Thank you.
