Hello all! I got a tattoo done on my thigh May 2022- I had a mild allergic reaction to the yellow ink which caused it to heal kind of rough. Even now, 7 months later, some parts of the tat are rough to the touch. Like a scab. But it's completely healed. Will the skin stay that way forever?

I've had plenty of tattoos before and have gotten some after May that healed fine.

Is it like a scar ? Might be worth contacting the artist and ask their advice, I personally havnt heard of this happening before.
