Ankle and tattoo: It could easily be an infection or reaction to the dye . See the physician of your choice ( podiatry , dermatologist , family physician ) but I wouldn't delay

Don't Tat-Too long.: The differences between an impending infection and an allergic reaction are sometimes hard to distinguish, especially in the early symptoms. It is probably best not to wait too long to have your foot examined. Early treatment could prove to be best for both you, your foot, your tattoo and your tattoo artist.
