Today, I woke up to a very unpleasant feeling. Apparently, the tattoo I got on my arm a couple of days ago attracted hundreds of ants during its healing process. They were literally carrying away pieces of my skin. I can not get the feeling or image out of my head. FML
aly55a_mariie tells us more.
LOL they definitely weren't lying when they said the internet could be brutal. First off, I have ten other tattoos and this is the first time something like this has happened. I take great care in all of my tattoos. I would like to think of myself as an incredibly clean person. Anal to a certain extent. I live with a very talented and successful tattoo artist. He too was freaked out waking up to ants in our bed. I didn't use anything scented. Just the typical A&D ointment. It was not infected nor did it get infected. It was just one of those crappy things that happen to people. I have had another tattoo since then and am happy to say there was no ant attack this time! But thanks everyone for your comments and likes! And for those that don't think you can see a tattoo in your future, please don't let this be the reason! I highly doubt this is a common occurance. Thanks again everyone and have a great day!

Jesus ******* Christ! I thought you had to cover a tattoo during it's healing process? (Clearly I don't have any).

Talk about your skin crawling.

Tattoos don't attract ants, they must've already been there and wanted to find out why your arm smelled so bad.

Too soon? Of course not! However it may be too soon for the ants to go marching two by two...

No, we need to get all the way to ten. The ants go marching ten by ten, the little one stopped to eat my skin. :)
