Tattoo Ink Allergy Treatment. This treatment does not appear immediately, but after you get a tattoo. Hypersensitivity reactions to pigments used to make black, blue, purple and green tattoos are much less common.
Red is often the culprit, but any color can cause an allergic reaction. Many experts consider the ink used as one of the main causes of tattoo allergies. A tattoo rash can appear at any time, not just after getting new ink.
Tattoo ink allergy and reactions seldom occur but is something to consider when getting a tattoo.
Topical or oral corticosteroids and triamcinolone intralesional injections may help alleviate symptoms. I treated my tattoo just like all the others and let it heal on it's own. Tattoo ink allergy treatment may involve using steroid cream for a milder reaction, which may include redness and swelling. In people experiencing acute inflammatory allergic reaction after getting a tattoo the skin becomes red, irritated and slightly swollen at the tattoo site.
