After reading your post, I recommend that you get a new doctor. I
have seen too many of these reactions. What you have is a chemical
burn. A lot of the body artist call it an allergic reaction because
it takes responsibility away from there actions. The people who do
it, especially the Venice Beach crowd know that a large percentage of
there body art is going to result in a "reaction". When someone comes
back to complain, they blame the customer for having an allergic
reaction, when in fact it was the artist who gave them something that
can cause major harm. Your doctor is as bad as the person who gave
you the tattoo, not taking it seriously. If your doctor took the
time to investigate it properly, he would know that you had something
more on the lines of a chemical burn. I know, because I still have
the scar left on my arm.
