Mind, I’ve had many tattoos, but this is the first big one on my forearm and woof my elbow is rejecting this world.
It’s been almost a week since getting it, healing is coming along nicely, but the inner side of my elbow joint is just in crazy pain, especially as my palm faces upwards. Bending is near impossible.
I haven’t done anything with that arm that would otherwise make that kind of pain - like picking up bricks or whatever. So unless I slept wrong for the past three days, my guess is that it’s coming from the tattoo somehow.
Any tingling or pain in your hand, ring and pinky fingers? It kind of sounds like your ulnar nerve is where the pain is coming from
Nah, just elbow pain thankfully
There is also a lymph node there, which can be quite painful when swollen.
I have tattoos over both my forearms and up the inside of my elbows and didn’t have any issues with pain afterwards, but everyone’s body is different in how it reacts to things.
Ohhh. Maybe that’s the case. I’ve learned I’m rather allergic to blue, so perhaps there’s a localized reaction there.
