Maybe an allergic reaction to the ink? I've seen a person's skin react
horribly to red ink.

Ask your artist their opinion, definitely. See a dermatologist about
the chance that what you're observing is an allergic reaction. Seems
as if you'll have to get some of the tattoo redone, however if it's an
allergic reaction you obviously don't want the artist to use the same
color or brand of ink.
re de.rec.bodyart
If it had been two months for me then I would certainly asked my
tattoo artist about it. Also I never had any discoloration that lasted
beyond a month - the yellow in Calvin's hair (

) initially looked yellow (from the blood mixing with the tattoo ink,
I'm guessing), but there was no peeling involved and no feeling or
appearance of sunburn.
