| that dont sound good i think you might have an infection go see your doctor asap he/she should give you some antibiotics and maybe a good cream to use also see your artist he should be able to tell you if your tattoo is fixble or not |

Sounds lie an infection to me,Can't tell for sure with out seeing it,if it is red around the tattoo and if it feels warm or even hot,that is usally what it is.To begin go back to the artist that did the work and show it to him her.You could have gotten the infection by brushing up against something,touching it with unwashed hands,fiddling with it ,your buddies slapping it or your dog licking it,or it could have been a dirty tattooshop.If the shop knows what they are doing and know about bloodborne pathogenes and airborn pathogenes it is very likely you infected it your self.There is enough bakteria on your cell phone keychain or your dirty clothing.
Antibiotic ointment would be the next step,after it healed you will be able to see if it needs to be reworked or not.Rule of thumb let your tattoo breath,keep it superclean and always use a lotion without fragrance.
Go talk to your tattoo artist...
