Spell check!

No give it a few days and see if it goes away. The ink has been inside your skin for 10 months so I doubt it’s a reaction from that.

Could we possibly see a picture of it?

Yeah a picture would help, as well as knowing what part of the world you are from. Here in the states we have a spider called the brown recluse and their bites are generally harmless. However they can cause necrotic wounds in some cases. The bites usually go unnoticed because they are painless initially, and appear a few hours later as a small red bump that itches. If you live in an area with these spiders I would be vigilant about watching that spot especially on a tattooed area. If it starts looking like some bruising is occurring I would go to the doctor.

Glad to hear it. 🙂

btw, you absolutely can have an allergic reaction to ink 10 months or 10 years later. Allergies can develop at any time during your life. e.g. I am 34 and only developed an allergy to nickel last year.
