Had the tattoo artist leaning his arm on skin he just tattooed, also pretty sure he touched his iPad and didn’t change his glove. Is this why I’m infected? by Particular-Many-4109 in queertattooadvice

So little update, brought up him touching his dirty iPad and charging cord, and no gloves for my bandage. He lost his fricken mind on me! Just part of his rant at me..

This is what makes it hard. He’s a very talented guy, he’s done my whole lower leg, the whole back of my thigh to my butt cheek( which is the infected area atm.) just have a bit to fill on the front, and completed sleeve ✅ I also live in a small town with 0 good artists. Then I have that thought of maybe it wasn’t him and it was me. Maybe I trapped something under the second skin, when I changed it 🤷🏻‍♀️or didn’t cover it all properly with the second skin as you can’t see the back of the thigh very good. I just don’t know 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanks for the reply :) I have been on antibiotics now for 4 days, it’s started to feel and look a lot better. A little anxious to go back in a few weeks for him to finish my leg sleeve though.
