I got a tattoo at 7 pm on tuesday it is 3 am on wednesday and I am having pain when I walk. The tattoo is on my left foot and ankle and it covers my whole foot. There is a little swelling but mostly it just hurts and burns and I took Ibprouphen to help with the aches. It didn’t feel painful while getting it in fact the tattoo artist was impressed how I took it. I had two kids natural (to put my threshold of pain in prespective for you skeptics) But the after pain sucks I am limping which is not cool cause I have two kids to chase after. I can take this for a day or two but I hope this isn’t going to last. Does anyone else who has gotten a tat on their foot expeirence the same kind of after pain or can someone give me feedback that all is good. There is nothing nasty on my tat it just hurts and I want to know if it is normal.

I’m planning on getting a tattoo 4 months after having my baby. And after baby i will be getting fit. I wanted it on my lower back do you think 4 months is long enough?
