It could also be the way the tattoo artist was leaning on you and pinched the ulnar or radial nerve even more, along with tissue trauma. This would make it REALLY hurt.

That was my hypothesis. Hopefully I’ll heal over time. Thanks for the reply.

Hey Lola,

Yeah, sounds like what happened to me when I first got it. Yeah. I don’t know why either. Hope there isn’t any muscle or nerve damage from it.

Yeah, exactly.

Well that’s probably why, because you keep going back for more work. That’s good.

Cute…I’m off the steroid cream.

UPDATE:

Saw the dermatologist today. She gave me a steroid cream, but she said, “I don’t think you’ll even need it for the full two weeks.” and praised me for being proactive, that it made a difference in my healing – i.e. no scar tissues, etc.

Thank you for your support/advice. I will update you in two weeks.

BTW, does anyone else have issues with this forum? Mine keeps refreshing. I have to click the “x” to make it stop refreshing. But as soon as I sign in, it’s fine.

Yep! I hope you’re being taught correctly. There’s a lot of false assumptions passed down from ignorant physicians.

Doing better. The Benadryl is working. I took doses of Benadryl Orally on Saturday, yesterday one oral and two doses of the topical Benadryl (got tired of being loopy and tired on it). I’m going to switch to topical Benadryl from now on. Hopefully I get over this allergy. Maybe I can get some steroid cream on Wednesday when I see the dermatologist.

Update: Going to the Dermatologist today.

At the moment, yes, Mistress…but I’m confident that I’ll get over it.

I will. Thank you. Not yet, but it is dying down, the intensity. Thank you.

Yup! :p

🙂 Thank you.

Had to go to the ER last night, it was so bad. They told me to use Benadryl cream and orally. Both are helping, but as soon as it wears off, all hell breaks loose. I’m hoping I get past hump and it won’t have to have it removed. I am calling my dermatologist to see if I can get some steroid cream. I heard that can really help.

Yeah, that’s true. Apparently he wasn’t as good as the rest of the artists. Yeah. No, you don’t. I know. I will let him know. Thanks for the offer, but I really and truly don’t want a touch up. It’ll have some imperfections, but so do I with my brain injury scars, etc. It’ll be a reminder that I made it through this as well. *Especially* that I made it through the infection that I got.

Jerry, It may faded in spots, but I’m not going to get a touch up, that’s for sure. I had a big gaping hole in my skin. They said to cover it so skin would grow faster. Only used it for a day or two.

Hey Grey Cat,

Yeah it is. I got it for my brain injury, Chiari Malformation. The condition is drastically uneducated by doctors and I wanted awareness 24/7/365…just didn’t think it would be self-awareness at the moment, LOL.

Hi Lola,

That could be a big part of the issue as well. The Jojoba oil unclogs pores, so that’s why it’s helping. Sounds like me. I’ll sleep with an ice pack. I got some Benadryl and Benadryl cream which should help. Yeah. Thank you!

Sorry to hear about your reactions, Sam-I-Am…You gave me a great idea with the tea tree oil. Will get some of that! I’m all about natural healing modalities.

Hi Wheat, Yes I did. A shop that had won countless awards. I forgot to mention, toward the end of the tattooing, he was blowing on his tattoo gun. At that point, I was committed. I do have a lot of allergies to things and I did take a risk getting it, but I thought I’d be OK. Lesson learned.
