Oh! All my plastic bags? Yeah, they’ve certainly accumulated since I got here in September and it was cleaning day. There were a ton more in the closet. We counted 103 by the end of the day. 😀

@ GreenDragon I know, it makes me so mad. But it’s getting better, so that’s what matters.

@ Sherav Do you really think I need to get tested for lead toxins? Only because at school, I have no health insurance so unless it’s really a worry, then I’ll figure it out. I mean, I haven’t been feeling well at all lately but I chalked this up to the side effects from the antibiotic. Could I be wrong? Aside from using a black pigment, do you think they’re anyway the blue will work? I’m just wary about changing the color after part of it is still blue, you know?

This is what it looked like this morning. (http://yfrog.com/h0m3kytj) So it looks like an improvement to me! It’s feeling better, I’m religiously taking my antibiotic and cleaning it and doing what they told me in the health center.

The one other thing that I’ve noticed is the skin under the tattoo is bumpy and gets more and more bumpy as the days pass. Is this part of the allergic reaction or should I be more concerned about this?

Thanks for all of your help, everyone! It’s been a life saver since I’m so far from home and can’t seek the advice of my tattooed Dad or the shop itself. 🙂 Thank you!!
