What Causes Burning Sensation Around A Tattoo On The Arm?

I have had a tattoo on my arm for 15 years and have had no issues until a couple of months ago. I started getting a burning sensation. It wasn t too bad at first but the past couple of weeks the burning has gotten severe and I feel it om a larger area of my arm.

Hello and welcome to Healthcamagic.
I don't think this is related to tattoo. It may be caused by certain neurological disorders so you should check your cervical spine and rule out some neuropathies if symptoms persist.
I hope I have answered your query. I wish you a nice day.
