Tattoos...

[Lulabell]

Just wondering if anyone else has tattoos in here? Mine have gone all itchy for some reason. One was done 7 years ago and the other was done last august. The older one is giving me grief. It's on the base of my spine.

I've got one on the base of my spine a few years old and Its been fine so far! Ive been cocoa buttering it, dunno if that helps?

I've got 5 and all of them have been fine so far. I've been moisturising them about once a week but I have been putting bio oil in the bath I don't know if that has helped a bit. x

I have 7 but mine are ok! I am itchy real bad on my back, breasts and stomach at night but I'm using palmers to help it x x

Ive got 11 and theyve all been okay so far.. might just be a sensitive area due to the tattooing and prone to itchiness pregnancy hormones bring..?

I'll give the bio oil and cocoa butter a try. See if that helps. Thanks everyone. x

Be careful and watch for swelling or rashes. I have read that pregnancy can cause you to have allergies that you previously haven't, so if the lotion doesn't help call the doc as it may be a reaction to the ink. It's probably just dry skin though, I have been SO ITCHY lately! My tattoo is on the back of my neck and is fine though.

I've got 15 tattoos (one big, rest are tiny, before anyone thinks i'm covered ) & 18 piercings, tats seem fine, not had any problems with them x

I have a tattoo but its a bamboo tattoo (they do it by sharpening a piece of bamboo and then knocking it into your skin one dot at a time) so they react a bit differently to skin stretching and stuff

I have one tattoo and mine itched like mad first time around but it was fine I just used loads of moisturiser. Just keep an eye on it
