Hi guys,
8 months ago I gave myself a tattoo (really really really stupid and I regret it)
I didn’t have any reaction to the questionable tools I used, no irritation, no infection, nothing.
8 months after, and I woke up this morning and it hurts. Not a sharp pain but a weird uncomfortable sensation when I walked (it’s on my calf)
I took an aleve and put some cream on it, and it went away.
I took a nap later in the day and I woke up with the pain again, only a little worse.
I’m freaking out, so I figured I’d ask a tattoo forum then see a doctor tomorrow.
Also, there is absolutely no irritation on the skin, it looks completely normal.
thanks much guys
get to a doctor asap and get it checked.
Therte could be one of many reasons it has now started to hurt. you may have left a small metallic particle in your leg which has now rusted and given you tetanus. you may have a deep infection which has only just got to a bad enough stage to start hurting.
Hell you might have septicemia and because there was a trauma in the area the skin is more sensitive there.
Get professional medical advice asap.

Hi
As turbosatan said you need a Dr asap.
It could be tetanus or possibly a nerve related issue. Could be reaction to metal traces in the inks, or a fragment of foreign body (depending on what you used).
Hell might even be a pulled muscle and not even linked to your tat – main thing is you need to get it checked out.
Whilst you are at it if this was a self done one I would get some blood tests for Hep A & B and a HIV test just to put your mind at 100% rest.
Good Luck
Matthew
