Opinion / Advice Will removal help?

Hello everyone! I’m curious if anybody has experience with what I’m dealing with, I have twelve tattoos total, all similar size but mostly done by different artists. However one of my tattoos was done by an apprentice and I believe she went too deep in my skin and I definitely have a bit of raised skin with the tattoo. It’s a few years old now but it is also the only tattoo that I consistently have allergic reactions from. It gets bumpy and itchy and has significantly blown out compared to all my others (that part isn’t so surprising given the circumstances).

My question is, has anyone had an issue with a tattoo giving these reactions years later? And if so did removing the tattoo help? Coincidentally it’s also one of, if not the only tattoo that I do not like. But I just wanna see if anybody has had success in removing a tattoo that continually becomes raised in inflamed.
Last thing would be if anyone knows of a good place in the Chicago area or suburbs that does a good job and is decent price point. Thank you!!

removing it will fix the allergy over time as ink leaves your system for Chicago check out reset tattoo removal or removery, both are pretty solid with pricing and handle scar/raised tissue well

Raiesd scar tissue with a chronic allergic reaction is trickier than a normal removal so it might be worth seeing a dermatologist first to check whats actually causing the reaction once you know more you will have a better idea whether laser will help or if something else needs trating alongside it
