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
