This tattoo is almost 12 years old old, yes TWELVE. Out of nowhere it started getting itchy and it’s super inflamed. What could this be?

It happens to all of us. It happens when the hot summer sun touches them.

I have a tattoo that gets an itchy spot every once in a while. It usually lasts a day or 2. How long has it been itchy?
it’s not hot anymore where I live
at first my tattoo on my right wrist started getting itchy and then this one which is on the left. It lasted about an hour or two. The inflammation and itching has stopped now.

I wouldn't be too worried unless it lasts more than 2 days or is getting red and the redness is growing. But if you're worried you should always go to a clinic. Or call a tattoo artist for their knowledge!
but what do you think it could be? It’s an old tattoo that’s what’s perplexing me lol

I don't know, body chemistry can change. I had a birth control that was working great for years and the third time I replaced it I got horrible side effects. That's my best guess
