  • Yep, all the black ink on my nearly-complete traditional sleeve (so… lots) had a spontaneous granulomatous reaction this year. They were all at least a few years old.

    It’s currently healing thanks to a topical steroid, but I have yet to see if it stays away for any significant length of time. I can’t even have them removed (not that I want to), lest the ink enters my bloodstream and lodges in some gland somewhere. Black ink reactions are super rare; my derm had never seen one in person.

    My artist even uses one of the few approved-in-the-EU inks, go figure.












  • What does the vet say?? There are no other antibiotics or painkillers available?

    Jesus just go hold and comfort your damn dog. Go sleep on the floor with him. You should hope that if you are ever in a situation where you’re in too much pain to sleep, literally screaming, and desperate for comfort from the one person your life depends on, that they don’t treat you like such a burden.

    Your dog is only a part of your life, but you are your dog’s WHOLE life. You’re enduring a lack of sleep, but your dog is suffering and does not understand why the person he loves so much won’t help him feel better.

    Instead you’re locking him in a cage and trying to drown out his cries. Be better.
