Wrist tattoo that is extremely raised/bubbled.

My bf got a tattoo on his wrist in July or so. It seemed to have healed at first. But now, 6 months later, his tattoo is all welted up. It doesn't look infected or anything, just extremely raised and gross. Does anyone have an idea of what this could be or what to do?
Photos would help. Sounds extremely unusual. At 6 months out, the tattoo should be totally healed. Very odd especially because you said it seemed to have healed. My guess would be bacterial infection such as MRSA. He should go to a doctor asap. That is not normal.
I've definitely heard that it's common to have some places in a tattoo become slightly raised with humidity/heat/whatever. And I've got a couple of individual lines on my tattoo that are just raised all the time, and they've been that way since I got it. Doesn't really sound like what you're describing though.

He's probably going to lose his hand. No worries he has a back up
