Asked By:dominiccjs in Singapore, SG

Hi, would like to know if it is normal for tattoo to be raised and bumpy after tattoo removal. There is no pain or redness whatsoever. Only the lasered area is raised, the skin around it is perfectly fine. I apply a very light layer of moisturiser to allow the skin to breathe and I have been taking antihistamines for the past 2 days. Is this just an inflammation due to immune response? I'm worried they might be keloids. I'm 75% covered in tattoos and have not suffered from keloid scars before
