Flower on my foot

2 messages · last activity 1/10/2007

hi. i need some advice. Four days ago, i got a large flower design tattooed on my foot to cover up a star that i had gotten done a few years ago. it looked awesome at first, but then 2 days later, my foot swelled up. it began to scab, which i know is normal, but now, it looks as though there are blisters under the scabbing. it is also oozing some ink from the blistered parts. the care instructions (after i got it) were to wash it and let it dry out for 4 days and then apply a small amount of tattoo goo once a day for 2 weeks. i'm totally freaked out that something is not right. any advice would be great. thanks.
Hi, what you are desrcibing is stage one gangreen. You need to be admitted to an emergency ward immediately or risk the loss of your foot, leg, or life. Ok, really no one knows, call the guy who did it.
