I got my first tattoo along the back of my ribs and straight after I felt nauseous.
2 days later, I still feel nauseous. Is this normal?
The tattoo was a done during a home visit by a proper tattoo artist and everything was sterilised before hand.
The tattoo itself feels fine, there’s no weeping or blood or anything like that.
Its still slightly raised.
Has anyone else had this before? Or could I just be sick?
Thank you 🙂

1-You really should introduce yourself to the forums in the “INTRODUCE YOURSELF”section before you start posting. It’s just something nice we do here.
2-Well directly afterwards is normal, especially in sensitive areas because getting tattooed does take a lot out of you. But 2 days afterwards, seems like you’re just sick to me.
It depends a lot on your state during the tattoo. If you were extremely nervous and tence, than yeah, you can become a bit sick afterwards. If you’ve been flexing every muscle in your body the whole time, and holding your breath on and off(most people do that when nervous – without being aware of it. That’s why some people pass out etc.), maybe you bled a lot during, etc etc etc. And say if you’ve got a bad immune system, it will take a lot of energy for your body to heal the tattoo, and your entire body after the experience. But, if you did non of those things at all, than go see a doctor. You could be just normally sick.
And of course… Getting your first tattoo can be quite a rush. Adrenaline, endorphines, etc. You litterally get high. And as with most kinds of high; You fall back down 😛
Hi
Nausea after a tattoo is a symptom that can affect some ppl and should clear within 24-48 hours as your body adjusts (getting a tattoo puts a massive strain on your reserves and immune system).
It is a form of shock that can cause the sickness.
However if you still feel nausea or dizziness after this point you need to see a dr asap.
Take Care

Sorry to go OT here but, Biker, not every single new member is going to take the time to post a quick intro about themselves just so they can post somewhere else. Most newbies are looking for a specific answer and they want it ASAP without having to search or introduce themselves. Yeah it sucks sometimes but it’s more or less like that in every single discussion board on the web.
I know you mean well but telling every new guy what to do can intimidate them into not posting again and that’s not a nice feeling. 😮
