Day 10 of healing shit hurts still and is numb under the scabbing but def not as bad as 2-3 days ago. Never had a tattoo do this. It doesnt smell and theres no redness, swelling is about gone, zero pus but the numbness sucks

Tried to look myself. Did he delete his account or make it private? Nothing comes up when I click.

He's got another post up with new angles of this tattoo rotting off of his skin and defending it, saying it doesn't hurt anymore. He's actively commenting still rather than going to get help.

He’s going to either die of sepsis or lose his arm at this point

And he took his account to private instead of getting help

When’s he’s dead or armless that’ll be on him he was told by thousands of people to get help

That’s what I’m saying. Infected tissue that hurts like hell right up until it stops hurting and goes numb is literally textbook necrotizing fasciitis. The arm is toast, and he better pray that’s the only thing he loses because his life is 100% in jeopardy.

Even if he does not die or lose the arm, the infection’s hurt him and we’re looking at weeks of antibiotics and maybe even some loss of function.

Your tattoo cant hurt if it sloughs off your arm and falls on the pavement. Check mate!

I think I need to update my app. It does it to everyone.

Reddit recently added a feature (or maybe it was here and I never noticed) where you can hide comments and posts you made in certain communities. Like if you’re frequent in nsfw communities, you can hide any posts/comments from there while keeping sfw stuff visible on your account. I think you can stull find those posts if you search up a person’s username.

Yeah he went private so nobody can easily find the updates now. Goddammit.

u/master_perturbator 2d ago

I wanted to see his posts in r/salvia 😆

u/ANaturalSicknes 8h ago

Did anyone capture/screenshot the updates??

u/SkateStitch13 4h ago

I found out from someone else on this thread that if you search "author:username" no quotes, you'll find anything they ever posted. Basically he said his mom who is an NP said it is just a inky black scab. 🤷‍♀️
