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

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).

Ewwww...That is nasty Op. You and your house must be really dirty. If you can afford a tattoo, then you should also be able to buy some bactine and mecca for the tat...And some clean your house and yourself for **** sakes...YDI

Ydi. Your house must be nasty or you're not properly caring for your tattoo. I have 9, one of which is a half sleeve that took 5 sessions so i spent a lot of time healing and mine never attracted ants. You're probably really gross...

This should be what people tell others to keep them from getting tattoos. Nightmares for days.

Well you know some inks and dyes still use crushed insects. Maybe they wanted their friends back? Lol

....and then the ants shoved the pieces of skin into your light sockets.
