Red Itchy Painful Bumps ( Scab) On The Tattooed Skin One Of Which Has Become Very Sore.

I got this tattoo about two weeks ago.
Almost all over my back red itchy and somewhat painful bumps appeared.
After a few days of them appearing they started to go away but just come back. Nothing comes out of them but the scab.
Now I have one specific bump actually under the tattoo about the size of a penny.
It's very sore. Also if it's any relevance I have a bit of a sore throat and swelling when I swallow.

Hello,
The type of bumps you are mentioning it looks like you are having allergy from the tattoo, as these are all signs of allergic reaction.
You should visit dermatologist for the problem as he will examine it and prescribe you medication.
