    Question

    About a month and a half ago, I got my first tattoo done on my lower back. It healed fine and there was no pain until about two weeks ago when it started throbbing very slightly throughout the day and got worst at night. Now it's tinglingly!

    Answer

    Please get to a doctor right away and have this checked out!
