No problem at all. I knew it wasn't a typing mistake, since you put
it in the subject line as well, and the .de indicates English may not
be your first language. Your English is very good, much better than
any second language I attempt. ;-D

I think things would have to get a lot worse before you considered
removal. There are cases of people reacting to ink, sometimes even
years after the tattoo. Those cases are usually associated with red
ink, but it's not unknown with other colours.

Your dermatologist may be able to prescribe something for you that
will keep the reaction in control until you are healed, and things
might settle down after a while. Some people think that such
reactions are caused by foreign bodies that were on your skin when you
were tattooed going in under the skin during the tattoo process,
rather than the ink.

As you are in the middle of several sessions, of course you are not
going to get any more of that colour added until you see a doctor,
correct?

Please keep us informed about your experience, I would be very
interested in finding out how things turn out.
