I'm calling bullshit. Looks like your tattoos are being laser removed and this can be a side effect of the treatment. You're not allergic.

9 years ago | Likes 86 Dislikes 1

i'd argue that it looks like affected areas fit part of a certain design and could have been a colour in which the pigment caused a reaction

Tattoos are removed with lasers. Laser light is at a frequency which is primarily absorbed by the tattoo pigment causing it to break down.

9 years ago | Likes 59 Dislikes 2

The broken down pigment particles are then processed and removed by the immune system. If your skin is sensitive it can react to the laser

A lighter is a bad sterilization technique. The soot and oxidation creates particles that can come off in the wound/ blister.
