Not that it helps 5 hours later but slap the skin around it lightly instead of scratching. That’s the go to for tattoos
Edit: Do it really light around the itchy spot, little taps! Just enough to ease an irresistible urge to scratch or rub. Don’t do it a lot or to the extent you irritate or pull on it, and don’t slap on a healing wound itself
