lving4today Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Just wondering if anyone experienced this after getting tattooed? I got two fairly large tattoos on my thigh that are now healing and still inflamed, but noticed a single swollen inguinal lymph node on the same side. Can a tattoo be traumatic enough to cause this?

beez Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Not swollen glands specifically, but something kind of like it! In the two days after sitting for larger tattoos I feel a little more susceptible to weakness and bugs than usual. I figure your body is under stress and then later deals with healing, so it makes sense that your natural defenses are a little low. If you are super concerned about it, I would ask your tattooist and then see a doctor. Good luck! Dan S 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My doctor felt the area the other day and said its fine, but being in the medical girls myself i doubt everything. It's only a single, non tender area so I'm sure it's nothing but was curious on others expetiebces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colored Guy Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I posted this elsewhere here. Someone I know had to have a lymph node removed, since he's very heavily inked, the node was blue. It seems to be a natural reaction to something foreign entering the body. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptCanada Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Yeah,I would get them in my left side groin when I was getting my left thigh tattooed, and a little in my neck. Haven't had anything swell up recently, but it does un-swell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
