I had this tattoo done about three years ago. Everything was fine with it, and I had it touched up about a year or so after getting it. Then about 5 or so months after the touch up, I noticed that the red line, and only the red line, had become raised and almost swollen. I decided to go up to the shop to try and get some answers, was kind of brushed off or given some vague explanation of what it could be (delayed allergic reaction to red ink, even though it almost took a year and a half to show up apparently) but no one was 100% with me. I haven't had health insurance for a while now, so I wasn't able to go to the doctor, but I thought I may be able to find some sort of answer here!

Thanks![/youtube]

It looks scarred.
Isn't it illegal not to have health care now? I thought obamacare made it all better.

the swelling of the red line means that you will have a long and prosperous life.
