pregnancy and tattoos

So since I became pregnant, ive noticed my tattoos are becoming raised and itchy. Sometimes even burn. Ive had some of them for as many as 5yrs, and for a minimum of 2yrs. Any other to-be or already mothers having this problem or know why I am? It may not be related to pregnancy at all, but it never happened til now.

I haven't had a problem with any of my tattoos. And my newest one is only 18months old. Oldest one is 15 years old. Weird...
