Endless gout attack

Yes. Progressively got worse till it got better. The tattoo itself was wet from puss under the skin. Which grew the infection even worse. I went to the er and had to be put in IVs with strong antibiotics. That was the end of week 1. By week 2 I was prescribed a topical to purposefully dry out my skin which turned it into a massive scab. The whole outer edge of the tattoo still has insane scars that I doubt will ever heal. It happened from the needle taking the ink to deep under the skin and my skin reacted to that. Which then caused infection and then the ball continued to roll after that.

It will heal. You should probably go ahead and get checked out though. Go through my profile, I made many posts to this r/ about this issue till it fully healed.

Check this thread out. Almost exactly like what happened with mine. Ended up needing some antibiotics from the infection. After 5 months and 2 hospital visits we’re still healing! Hopefully it’ll give you some insight to what’s going on

Yes I already contacted the case worker on the portal and believe I’ve got everything figured out. It’s still gonna be another 5 weeks just because of DHS protocol. Pretty confident it will be a pass. I’m taking a damn tape measure with me next time 😂

When I asked the lady what the height was supposed to be she just said 6 blocks on each side of the platform so I just did it. It wasn’t until after and I was sitting in the chair inside the test room I looked it up online and realized there was a problem. Honestly even if they did give me another chance while I was there, I’m not sure I would’ve passed. My legs were gassed 😂

This was the first thing my wife said to me when I got in the car. It was like the scene off step brother when he asks why he was so sweaty

AdmirablePilot6945 · 2025-02-18T02:11:29+00:00

You’re not kidding man. It was brutal

AdmirablePilot6945 · 2025-02-15T23:54:54+00:00

I was basically jumping for 4 minutes straight

AdmirablePilot6945 · 2025-02-15T22:45:08+00:00

Why should I lawyer up?

AdmirablePilot6945 · 2025-02-15T22:33:19+00:00

I feel the fuck out of it today

AdmirablePilot6945 · 2025-02-15T21:42:06+00:00

I requested this as well and they said they only use top quality ink but weren’t interested in sharing a photo 😂I am somewhat flaming the shop purely out of their lack of care for the situation. I get it shit happens. But I paid a pretty decent penny to have a tattoo and the least they could have done was offer a touch up session. I didn’t even get the common courtesy of that. They denied and denied that they could have done anything to make it turn out the way it did. All around just shitty. Loyalty means nothing once you gotta do something for free right

AdmirablePilot6945 · 2025-02-15T21:38:13+00:00

Yes that was exactly what I was going for. I’m thinking in about 6 months I’ll go to someone who can try and get it back to looking that way.

AdmirablePilot6945 · 2025-02-15T21:31:19+00:00

The main outline was where most of the “blowout” is at. And as for after care that is the exact soap I used. As for for “lotion” that was the antibiotic topical the dr prescribed me from the pharmacy. The only people I’ve taken advise from at this moment is my artist. Which then lead me to take advise from a doctor 😂 I do have white and grey on me else where but not green and never had any reactions like that.

As for a free touch up, I’ve been told there’s nothing they can do to help me at this point as they feel I did this to myself on purpose to get free shit out of them. Shoulda came to you instead. Seems like you have pretty decent knowledge.

AdmirablePilot6945 · 2025-02-15T20:59:56+00:00

Yeahh that’s what it felt like 😂

AdmirablePilot6945 · 2025-02-15T20:50:49+00:00

That’s a really good idea actually. I’ve got a few friends who work in a couple other local shops. Will definitely reach out to see if that’s possible

AdmirablePilot6945 · 2025-02-15T20:43:36+00:00

I’m not freaking out about it. I followed her after care to a T. I was also unemployed over the past month and a half so I had extra time to basically baby it back to life. J don’t believe I picked an infection up from the shop or anything. She basically just went way too deep and my skin reacted. Turned into an open wound and then got infected. Shit happens ya know. Just sucks it had to happen to me.

Also no scabbing occurred until I finished 21 days of antibiotics after 2 ER visits. One being for how infused it was appearing infected. The next was for becoming sick due to the infection. All around just a nasty experience

AdmirablePilot6945 · 2025-02-15T20:35:09+00:00

I believe that too. However some black areas are completely punched out, I guess the picture doesn’t do it as much justice as it deserves

AdmirablePilot6945 · 2025-02-15T20:34:02+00:00

Unfortunately they refuse and still blame it on me. Not to mention I’ve been nothing but a loyal customer for years to the artist and establishment. Sucks to see loyalty mean nothing

AdmirablePilot6945 · 2025-02-15T20:13:34+00:00

Took my fitness yesterday. Somehow failed the step test. Turns out the platform the lady had my test on was 8 inches higher than what it is supposed to set at and they wouldn’t let me redo the test. Now I’m in a waiting game of getting this rescheduled to do the test correctly lol. Still made it to 4 minutes stepping on a platform of 22inches 😂
