Answer 2

I think you mean "infected" tattoos :)

A skin infection may be present if any of the following symptoms are present after having a tattoo or body piercing:

* Increased pain, swelling, redness, heat, or tenderness around the tattoo or piercing site
* Red streaks extending from the area
* Pus coming from the wound
* Swollen or tender lymph nodes
* Fever

Infection may start at the tattoo or piercing site on the surface of the skin. The normal clear or clear-yellow fluid that drains from a body piercing site may change to creamy yellow, brown, or red or look or smell like pus.
