I can't get a shoe on it at all...nothing can touch it without it hurting really bad!: eek: I am wearing flip flops all the time and it is still a bit chilly outside! |
That sucks that that is happening. I did a lot a research when I decided to get my most recent tattoo removed & the red ink allergy is more common then a lot of people think.
I got a small flower on my big toe, which hurt like the dickens, and I hated it; just looking at it would make me physically sick so I decided to have it removed. I've had two removal treatments & it's almost completely gone. And if you think the tattooing hurt multiply that by like 100 & you're close to the pain of the laser.
I also have a small heart with tribal on my lower back that i love & a soft pastel butterfly on my shoulder.
