Side-effects of Tattooing

I got my first tattoo on Friday, and for the past two days have been really nauseous. Is this normal? My tat doesnt look infected and from what i have read im not allergic to the ink. I cant seem to find any info on this and just wanted to know if someone else has had this.

I guess it could be a nervous reaction however I have never seen anyone STAY nauseous for any period of time....most probably has nothing to do with your tattoo...maybe a bug?...TAz

could be something you ate.

Or somebody!

Maybe you are pregnant. This guys said he was a tattoo artist huh? What did he tattoo you WITH exactly?

Could be a coincidence that you happened to catch something right around the time you got inked, and the symptoms are starting to show up now after a few days of incubating in your system, Bummer, but it happens. Tattoos lower your immune system temporarily which can open the door a crack wider to common ailments such as the cold. Take Multi-Vitamins and plenty of Vitamin C with Zinc. You'll feel better in no time.
