Found this thread really helpful.
I've got quite a few tattoos , one on my inner ankle got infected last year, made me a bit anxious getting more. Though got a phoenix on my outer thigh n was great, healed the best n real fast. Just got a compass style tattoo last week on lower leg just above the one that was infected last yr, seemed fine but seeps a little bit, when I get out of bed it bluddy hurts to walk.
Reading that lower leg ones hurt, swell etc when healing has been like 'phew' I starting to worry this one was infected too.
I think cos its on the inner calf every time my leg tenses/moves I feel it sore or tight. Sometimes its red n bit hot but not all the time
