Weird tattoo reactions.?

I have a smallish (2" x 4") dragon tattoo on my outer thigh that I've had for 10 years. Sometimes, when I get a mosquito bite on or near the tattoo, the whole tattoo will turn into a hive. The swelling will be confined to just the area that's been inked. It doesn't itch, and the swelling goes away in a couple of hours. It's happened maybe 8 times since I got it, but seems to be happening more frequently. The inks are black, blue, yellow and green. Has anyone else had this happen? Does anyone know what causes it? I'm not really worried, just curious.

I have a unicorn on my shoulder and every once in awhile the outline puffs up. I was told it happens to some people and not others. Also told not to scratch it so I do not break skin. If it does not hurt and gives you no problem then I would not worry about it.

You might want to talk to your doctor. I have a tattoo on my foot and I get by mosquitos there all the time. My tattoo never swells or anything. It just itches a lot!
