“I got a tattoo 2 days ago?”
Well, I seem to have a lot of gas my face is flushed, and diarrhea a bit. The arm where the tattoo is has aching, and the tattoo is somewhat reddish. I might be allergic to the ink but I don’t feel good at all.

I agree it might also be an infection introduced during the procedure. If your own Dr cannot see you today in person (no phone or virtual diagnosis), go to the nearest hospital ER. Do not go to an Urgent Care center.
