Why is my skin rejecting the ink?

Over the past few days i have used a needle and ink to tattoo my skin; can i get ink poisoning? What symotoms?

  • Two dyas ago i carved a small heart into my palm and used red ink to color it. It was fine & looks good. Yesterday i used a needle to slice into my hip an asterik and put red ink into the wound. Today it was extremely sore and looked a little infected. Tonight i sliced a star on my foot and filled it with black ink. I was feelig fine and wasnt worried until today about noon. I stated getting hot and itchy. Now after just taking a shower i realize i have slighty red colors in my skin on my chest mostly and my neck and shoulders. Could that be ink poisoning? What should I do!? Dont ask me why i carved a star on my foot after i started feeling weird today. I cant answer that i; i wasnt thinking. Please answer this seriously. I am not looking to be called an idiot or immature. I just need to know if i should show my dad, or school nurse and what not. Please provide liinks if possible!!! :) thanks

    There are several diseases one can get from doing what you did, not the least of which is AIDS or Hepatitis B or C, depending on how sterile the needle was and who used it for what. You need to see a doctor.

you can get blood infections and end up DO DA..... thats why prisons watch any signs of new tats on inmates real close. high levels of infections. they are illegal for inmates to get or even think of getting!!!! by the time you realize something is wrong it has spread like dye in water all over your blood stream, don't do it.............. pro's are trained,,,,,,,and things go wrong..........

Get it checked now. Your school nurse should be able to direct you where you can get help if further necessary. Tatooing is a business, not a self-hobby. It hurts more when you want it removed. Don't try something you were not meant to do. the problem is not links, you are probably reacting to some chemical. Get professional help. It's only embarassing at the moment. The longer you wait, it will become more than an embarassement. Go, get along.....!

No links needed, kiddo. Stop inking yourself and get to the doctor, yes it can be ink poisoning and it can kill you. You know, inking should be done using steril technique and by people who have learned the ropes and follow certain proceedure. That is why we have professional tattooists. Stop carving yourself, it would be a dumb death, no wouldn't it? Now, go get checked out and leave the tatting to a professional. Good luck.

You need to go to the doctor immediately. Go get your DAD NOW. It could be many things. Ink poisoning is only one. You didn't sterilize the needle did you? This could be VERY bad.Good Luck
