I'll mention it to the Vet. It doesn't seem to hurt him: I was examining it moving the fur back to get a better look at it and Tiggy was just giving me this lovey look, purring loudly...the surface almost looks like a small wart but I could feel a small mass underneath the skin.
Tiggy's 7 months-old and was diagnosed with Feline Herpes but would that cause skin growths? At first I was wondering if that could be his microchip, but that's usually implanted in the gruff of the neck isn't it?
I recall when he got his last booster shot the Vet gave him the shot in his hind quarters (I forget which side) and I know that the fluid can accumulate under the skin...but that was at least 3 weeks ago!
This has made me a bit paranoid, I've read those articles claiming that certain vaccines can cause tumors in cats...

Okay...based on this I should just keep an eye on it and make sure the lump doesn't get any bigger. It's not an inch big so I think it's a normal reaction to the rabies vaccine...
