MeghanG 0 Posted June 10, 2020 Okay so about 12 days ago I tattooed a few fingers and also my palm/ wrist. My fingers are healing normal. And I THINK my palm tattoo is healing pretty normal but my wrist is not looking okay today. It’s very sore when being moved and not like a tight sore. Like the tendons underneath hurt. It’s extremely red (but so is the tattoo itself) and Inflamed. And in some areas it literally looks like I have a flesh eating virus. The leaf on my wrist is covering a very old tattoo I got in a friends garage when I was 15. I just don’t really know what to do about this. HALP.

Samth 24 Posted June 10, 2020 First thing I would do is talk to the artist, or if you're really concerned about an infection speak with your doctor. 1 SStu reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MeghanG 0 Posted June 10, 2020 Haha oh no I did not tattoO this myself. I had my normal artist do it all. I have many other tattoos. This one is just not healing like normal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hogrider 1,631 Posted June 10, 2020 I'd see a doctor and stay away from that artist. That looks like he was really heavy handed on some very thin delicate skin. 1 oboogie reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Super weird because he’s done a lot of my tattoos and technicality wise he’s done the absolute best. I have some bad experiences when I was younger because I didn’t look into my artists. But he’s always done very well. Others he has done in photo underneath. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1esotericguy 14 Posted June 12, 2020 It could be a little deceptive because it’s lined in red color, but it does look like they went a little deep in that wrist area. The fleshy area under the thumb jumped out at me too, as an area that looked a little deep. Has it settled down any yet? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
