eh. worryaboutyourself.fu.com Tattoo's are trendy. So if you are one of those cooler guys with tattoo's who makes fun of other guys about trying to be cool with their tattoo's...well just remember there's always the even cooler guy with no tattoos. My bad tribal has received many comments from mostly women. That's all anyone should need. Hate on.
looks like it could be a wart. if so, don't mess with it. if it bleeds, the warts will spread wherever your blood touches. it's contagious. go see a dermotoligist.
I believe this happened to the last person who appropriated MadMax's moniker. They didn't last as long as you have...
Priorities You're coming up with the funds for tattoos & veneers, all on your appearance. But now you're a "broke mo fo" who wont put $60-$75 toward your actual health. Not wise in the least. Ignorance isnt bliss in your case, seek expert opinion and erase the worry and stress.
my friend had like three of those on his leg then he died a few months later. I'm not joking but I cannot remember what they said it was, It was real fast though once he started going downhill.
It's a reaction to Rafer's shooting. During his extreme cold streaks, you get the bump. You probably get a lot of recurrences.
Not even a doctor online here can help you diagnose it. Go see a doctor in person. Even if there is a correct diagnosis on here, you may need treatment that only a doctor can prescribe. I doubt it'll be a treatment that you can buy over the counter. Also tattoos are a good transmitter for Hep C. I'm not sure how long it takes to show signs but this may be one.

Kids like them, many parents don’t. Now, parents have another argument in their favor: researchers are recommending that if you have a tattoo, you need to get a physical check-up because you may have contracted a disease and don’t know it. When the blood drive came to Danielle Cooper’s school, she volunteered. “And I was like, yeah, I’ll give blood.” says Danielle, 17. The Red Cross rejected her as a blood donor and the reason was a surprise to Danielle. “I have had only one piercing, which is in my navel, and the same day I got my tattoo, which is a sun around my belly button. That was about three months ago,” says Danielle. “They said if you have had any tattoos or any piercings in the past year you can’t help, and I’d signed up and everything.” The problem is the risk of disease. A new study from the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases finds that people with Hepatitis C are three times more likely to have a tattoo. “Historically there have been problems with tattoo parlors that have used needles that were used for others, improperly sterilized,” says Alfred Gordon, American Red Cross. In fact, the researchers concluded that all patients with tattoos should be tested for Hepatitis C, even if they have no symptoms. “The first evidence of disease that you may find is 10, 15, 20 year later, when someone tells you that you have Cirrhosis, and your liver is not working right,” says Dr. Arnold Lentnek, M.D., infectious disease specialist. Did Danielle contract a disease with her tattoo? She doesn’t know. “I will have to wait a whole year to see if I end up getting hepatitis,” says Danielle. Danielle can wait to see if symptoms occur, or she can get a blood test. Experts say parents need to talk to their kids about the risks of a tattoo: Hepatitis C and B, tetanus, tuberculosis, HIV, as well as skin infections. “I think it’s very important that parents know the dangers and risks if their children want [tattoos] done and to make sure that their children are having tattoos and piercings done in reputable places,” says Dr. Johnathan Weiss, dermatologist. Tips for Parents A tattoo or piercing may take only a short time to acquire, but you should invest plenty of thought and research before getting one. If you take steps to protect yourself from possible risks, what seems like a cool idea now is less likely to turn into a source of regret later. (National Institutes of Health, NIH) If you are set on getting a tattoo: “Reduce the risks, make sure that the facility is clean, safe and has a good reputation. Proper sterilization of the equipment is important. Be sure to follow the instructions on caring for your skin.” (NIH) No matter what type of tattoo, there are always risks and possible adverse reactions that may require treatment. Infections may occur directly after tattooing. Impetigo, a staph infection, or cellulitis, a deeper skin infection, may develop. (American Academy of Dermatology) Tattooed artwork involves breaching one of your body's main protective barriers: the skin. This means you can be more susceptible to skin infections and other skin reactions. (Mayo Clinic) The Mayo Clinic identifies these specific risks: Blood-borne diseases. If the equipment used to create your tattoo is contaminated with the blood of an infected person, you can contract a number of serious blood-borne diseases. These include hepatitis C, hepatitis B, tetanus, tuberculosis and HIV — the virus that causes AIDS. Skin disorders. Your body may form bumps called granulomas around tattoo ink, especially if your tattoo includes red ink. Tattooing can also cause areas of raised, excessive scarring (keloids), if you're prone to them. Skin infections. Tattoos can lead to local bacterial infections. Typical signs and symptoms of an infection include redness, warmth, swelling and a pus-like drainage. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has linked clusters of potentially serious antibiotic-resistant skin infections to unlicensed tattoo artists who don't follow proper infection-control procedures. Some antibiotic-resistant skin infections can lead to pneumonia, bloodstream infections and a painful, flesh-destroying condition called necrotizing fasciitis. Allergic reactions. Tattoo dyes, particularly red dye, can cause allergic skin reactions, resulting in an itchy rash at the tattoo site. This may occur even years after you get the tattoo. MRI complications. Rarely, tattoos or permanent makeup may cause swelling or burning in the affected areas during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exams. In some cases — such as when a person with permanent eyeliner has an MRI of the eye — tattoo pigments may interfere with the quality of the image.
