He may be overstimulated by the affection. This happens a lot - some cats just don't know when to say "no" and then they instinctively nip at their humans. If he isn't attacking when his tail starts to poof up, then he might not be as upset as it appears. Watch his ears carefully and see if he lays them back against his head. That is the usualy sign that a nip is on the way.

Good luck!
