I got a tattoo about a month ago, on my chest in simple cursive script.
Tattoo healing process was fine, no bad scabbing, the artists who did it was very skilled.
About 2 weeks ago I noticed a tiny, almost pin sized bump that was near my tattoo (its easy to see up close from my chest) I thought nothing of it. I noticed another one on my tattoo, and yesterday I noticed a few more on the lines of the tattoo. Some smaller ones spread out across the tattoo as well.
I noticed this when I angled it too the light and saw the bumps. They are the size of the tip of a pen (some smaller) and white and seem to be hard. At first I thought they were clogged pores because they had to shave my chest and alot of ingrown hairs appeared. But they seem to be fixed only to the tattoo. I used cureal for the 3 weeks after the ointment and now i have been washing it with dove hand soap.
I found someone with a similar situation via internet searching and came across this guy whos picture shows best whats happening to mine.

My other tattoo did not go through this, and I had it done at the same place.
looks like small zits………..leave them alone and see what happens………..
Just read the replies that were left there. It’s going to be more of a guess here because we can’t see it.
I had something like what you described. If the same, I agree with Reefdiver, just pimples. Skin reacting to a foreign body. It should go away.
