I think my tattoo has sepsis

2017-10-01 05:53:39
I recently gave myself a stick and poke tattoo like an idiot. I’m worried it may be infected and I may have blood poisoning. There is a red circle outlining the tattoo. It is a small tattoo but the whole this is completely covered with a yellowish brown scab. I also have chills. Should I remove the skin to get rid of it?

Send me a clear picture of the tatoo. Go for blood test for CBC. Take paracetamol if feels fever. Come for online consultation.
