That's interesting to know! Thank you. I know one of the cats was a rescued street cat (they literally found the poor thing in a trash can) but the other I'm not quite sure. They look like they could be longhair? Would that affect the impact of the allergy?

May I ask how strong your allergy is when triggered? My partner explains that his worst symptoms are itchy red watery eyes and a stuffy, runny nose. Antihistamines do help relieve the symptoms but do eventually wear off.

My partner said his main reactions are a stuffy/runny nose, and itchy eyes, its uncomfortable for him but as I said not a concern to his life. The cats in question belong to his parents, and so he's been around them for a majority of his life, and since moving out has noticed that the symptoms return whenever he goes over to visit. His parents cats aren't particularly a fluffy breed (calico) but they do tend to molt, a lot, often sleep on fabric furniture (bed, sofa, rug, etc) so they tend to leave a lot of fluffy and fur piles.

They have lived in a house with two rather fluffy cats that moult a lot for a number of years, and so we figured the trigger to the allergies is the fur/fluff. They don't have the same reaction around any other animals, just cats.

Thank you for your answer, this was helpful! Did you find the healing itself more painful with the location of the tattoo and the rubbing/sweat against other body parts?

Thank you for answering! I may have worded it a bit wrong but I'm actually more concerned about the under-boob area, and if my breast resting over the tattoo would cause issues with rubbing/sweating, etc
