Sore tattoo after hair removal

I've had a tattoo on my ankle since May, it's healed really nicely and been fine. A couple weeks ago, having avoided anything but shaving the area once completely healed, I epilated my legs (Google told me this was fine). The next day my tattoo was really sore to the touch - felt like a bruise - and it's still tender now when I touch it. All looks fine but just didn't expect it to still hurt!

Is there anything I can be doing or is it basically suck it up and don't epilate again?!
