Help please, now getting quite concerned
This was my leg today at 6am, 1pm and 9:30pm. It actually doesn't hurt at much today, but it is itchy and the rash is evidentially spreading. Any advise welcome.

Self-satisfying 'new tattoo is ouch' post
I am in so much pain right now.
Oh I know what you're thinking. You're thinking
"Well, lets look at the facts, Elise. You finished off your new tattoo on Thursday night, thats two days before yesterday. A needle was dragged across your skin a bajillion times a minute (yes, I counted), causing you to swell practically instantaneously. Let's also not over look the fact that the incomplete part of the tattoo was only done the Friday before, so wasn't healed even a whole week yet. So yes, I imaging you are in pain right now, quite a bit."
First off, fuck you.
Second off, yeah okay.
But this is more then just "oh woe is I, but look at my sick tatt". This is "I actually struggled putting on underwear this morning because I couldn't raise my leg high enough to get my foot through without feeling the flesh pull" (true story, had to do this squat-and-lasso method). I have aches up and down my back, the part where my spine joins my head is throbbing and I've been forcing myself to stay awake since before 6pm.
Now some of this I am putting down to that I'm supposed to start my period soon, which by the way, why have I started getting heinous PMS symptoms again recently? But seriously? This is on a par with when I had just finished getting my branding done. I'm tired, sore, cranky, most leg movement canes and the tattoo is all scabby so I can't even say "at least it looks pretty" to get me through. I'm actually taking panadol, which I never do unless I have a migraine.
But at least it looked pretty and it will look pretty again soon. Two weeks, Elise, two weeks.
