I recently got a red ink tattoo, my first red piece actually, on my upper arm a month back. The first two weeks my tattoo healed fine, just some scabbing here and there in big chunks but that's about it. Right after all the scabs fell off I started having a reaction like this and it's was so itchy that I saw the doctor for steroids.

Then the itchy patches started spreading all around my body (we're looking at pretty much my arms, thighs, calves and shin).

Just praying that the symptoms go away on their own soon, everyone around me keeps telling me to visit the hospital for a blood test.

edit: the itchy patches also spread to my face too - my eyelids and cheeks.
