I need help from anyone who has any answers....I got a tattoo on my foot 2 weeks ago. A vine and 4 flowers and I am still not able to walk on my foot. My foot has swelled to about 3 times the size of my other foot. One flower is completely black and the vine's black lines (scabs have not come off yet) you can see ink that seems to have leaked to other places that weren't even tattooed...I have a huge amount of plasma coming from everywhere and I had bubbling (which no one knows what it is and have been to several tattoo shops)...I would get these great big bubbles that are just oozing what I am assuming is plasma. Every place I have been to has said they have never seen anything like it. I do know I must of been allergic to the red ink because the flowers are no longer red and have been dotting the tatt with a paper towel to get all the liquid off. Stopped using any ointment on it for it would make the tattoo ooze more sticky stuff. I am not able to move my toes except for my big one. The blood rushing in and out of my foot when standing or getting up is just excruciating. The pain has just gotten unbearable...I started taking Keflex which hasn't helped much (in case I had an infection)...I just can't take the pain anymore...Been on crutches for the past week in order to stay off the foot..I have taken pictures everyday so I have proof of what it is doing everyday. If anyone knows what is going on or what I should do Please help and let me know....I am getting pretty scared at this point...Oh, and I have other tattoos that are red and didn't have any problems with those ones...HELP!!!!

`ya may want to see a doc.over this.As far as the ink your seeing spreading out is called a blow out and the artist went too deep.this sounds like you got someone that doesnt really know what there doing.You are more than welcome to e mail me some pics so i can get a better idea here of just what is going on.thanks Don
As Hellskitchen commented go see an md- seriously. This sounds really bad and going to tattoo shops asking what it is or could be isn't a good idea-go to someone who has a medical degree. Hope everything works out well for you.
