    Tattoo
    Hey,
    I have recently done something stupid.
    I tried doing a home permanent tattoo I cut my skin with a sewing needle and went over the line drawing with a permanent mark (non-toxic) then I went over it with paint. Do you think I'm at risk of any infections?
    I done this tattoo yesterday, it still stings and is a bit red.
    ( The shape is a treble clef)
    Thanks

    Yes, you are at risk for serious infections, blood disease, and at the very best scaring. Please get medical attention at once.

    While I never approve of home do it yourself tattoos, if you were to do it, this is not how it is done, it is not "cutting" but it is sticks into the skin

    Get to the doctor at once

    HI, thank you for replying.
    I have only cut through the first and maybe a bit of the second layer of skin? Not deep, and there was no blood. Would I still be at risk or not? Mostly just a scar.
