a question about after getting a tattoo

has anyones nose bled the day after getting a tattoo? mine did and I'm wondering if I should be concerned at all.

Never heard of that?

Do you have a headache? You might have serious brain damage.

Or, are you picking your nose too much? Or, not enough?

I never heard of that happening. Where is the tattoo?
I heard of swelling [in the location of the tattoo] and I heard of being allergic to certain colors [I am allergic to white ink] but never a nose bleed.

Did you get the tattoo inside your nose?

It says "Pick it till it bleeds" and has a devil totally nailing an angel.

Man, we spend too much time on the Silliness board.

naw its on my wrist I think what happened was I covered it with a band aid to protect it from my cats and it had a reaction...I think

You might consider talking to a doctor. I usually try to avoid getting medical advice from random people on the Internet.

not looking for advice just if anyone else experenced the same thing

In all my years of reading body mod boards, I have never, ever heard of anyone getting a random nosebleed after getting a tattoo elsewhere on their body.


Are you sure it's not just the really dry winter air?

How often do you get nosebleeds?

im not a doctor but i dont think an infection exists that you can get from a tattoo that would cause nosebleeds

Why do you say that? I'm sure there are plenty of bacterial infections that can lead to nosebleeds, and any of them could potentially be aquired from an unsanitary tattoo parlor. A quick google search shows that a chronic form of salmonellosis can cause nosebleeds. Sorry, not trying to worry the original poster, I just think that when you start a sentence with "i'm not a doctor" the sentence shouldn't end with medical opinions.

I think Shalome is right its the weather random coincodence I guess happened only once today when I woke up and nothing else since then so yeah...thanks people

Tattoo on wrist is to blood in nose, as JFK is to UFOs. Probably not related. Probably....

Cocaine.

Global warming.

It could be a side effect of the stress of getting a tattoo. Your blood pressure might have gone up if you were nervous and/or excited, which pared up with dry wintery weather, could probably give you a nosebleed.

i said that because im not a doctor but ive been tattooed many times and im friends with many tattoo artists and ive never heard of anything like that

yeah yesterday was a big storm after a warm day so the sudden change must of dome something... strange coincodence but what ever

thats what I would guess...and I'm not just agreeing 'cause shes a moderator either.

just a coincidence. just relax and enjoy your new art.
