Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
You have probably developed contact irritant dermatitis at the tattooed area. To treat the same, take tablet levocetirzine twice in a day and apply a potent topical steroid like clobetasol twice in a day. If the rash does not clear away in few days, please meet a dermatologist.
Take care
