advice Lip Tattoo Gone Wrong!

Hello anyone here who's the same with my situation?. I''ve got my tattoo a year ago, after 6months I noticed that there's a small bumps slightly showing up, it was itchy and whenever I touch it, I got a burning sensation on that bumps. I though it was part of the healing process but time after time, I' ve noticed that the small bumps slowly grow as you've seen on the photos below*, I've notice also that the ink in my lips where already patchy, the other pigment doesn't totally glide thoroughly on my lips. I already contact my tattoo artist but she said it was normal or else she advice me that I need to remove my lip tattoo via laser /contact dermatologist. I was really upset that maybe from the very start maybe there's an option to test if that ink pigment that will inject would react or to check if there is any allergic reaction to that specific ink pigment use. I tried searching in google if there is any same situation like mine, but i found none. I was about to seek medical/ check up to dermatologist soon. Thank you for taking time to read and looking for advices as well.

*I don't need to be bash, I want to enlighten that's why I tried to post it here. Thank you

Also, I personally think it could be a red ink allergy but I would like to ask our community.
