What Does It Mean When A Tattoo Itches

When a tattoo itches, it typically means that it is healing. During the healing process, the skin may feel itchy as the body’s natural healing process and cell turnover is taking place. This is normal and should not be itchy after the tattoo heals. If the itching continues for more than a few weeks or becomes painful, it is advised to seek medical help as this could be a sign of infection.
