Hello from the UK :-)

[HDay]

Been a lurker for a while. Well mostly after I had a tattoo on my lower leg and panicked when my ankle swelled up and I had pain every time I stood up.

So far I have 3 tattoos nothing artsy, or cool but I love them. My next piece I'm looking for something amazing, but undecided what I want.

I have no idea how I got the bug, I hate pain and I'm a mard arse.

I'm a tattoo artists nightmare, the one on my leg I couldn't stop shaking it was insane and I have no idea how it ended up looking as expected...I did apologize over and over, but he just said it happens :-).

Welcome! Lower leg really sucks to heal because of the swelling, so you are certainly not alone there.

I guess I am lucky then,because I have tattoos from my ankles to my thighs and never had an issue with any swelling.
