Tattoo horror: Woman faces near-death crisis after artist's dangerous mistake; experts warn one negligence can lead to severe infection
In a shocking incident, a 36-year-old woman suffered a severe health crisis after getting a tattoo. Yes, you read that right; a woman experienced a near-death condition after getting her in memoriam tattoo that became infected and began oozing green and yellow pus, reported the Daily Mail. The woman, identified as Quiniece Washburn, quoted in the report that her brother died from an overdose, and she wanted to get the tattoo so she knew that he would be with her. Further, the report mentioned that the woman paid $350 (INR 29,050) to ink her brother's face on her left calf. She said, during the session, she felt a minor burning sensation and experienced some pain when the artist wiped down her tattoo. But little did she know that the tattoo would turn fatal this soon. Tattoo turns deadly after a minor burning sensation According to the woman, after leaving the appointment, she noticed the tattoo leaking ink, and soon after this, it began oozing a bloody and yellow pus, while she developed a severe pain that forced her to drag herself behind till her home. 'When it got worse, I was having to drag my leg to walk, and I was limping. It was a horrible time for me. The pain was traumatising, and it was upsetting because it was the face of my brother,' Washburn quoted in the report. Credit: Pexels Following this, the woman had to be admitted to the hospital, where she received antibiotics but would wind up needing to return for IV treatments around 10 times before she was finally admitted to the ICU for the infection. Woman was diagnosed with bacterial cellulitis after getting a tattoo done After the hospitalisation and tests, doctors diagnosed her with bacterial cellulitis, a condition that can cause high fevers, chills, numbness, burning and immense pain. "Tattoos can potentially lead to bacterial infections if proper hygiene and aftercare are not followed," says Dr Divya Joshi, consultant in infectious diseases, Fortis Hospital, Bannerghatta Road. "If proper sterilisation and hygiene are not maintained and needles are reused, it can lead to the transmission of blood-borne infections like HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C, causing serious health problems." When do tattoos turn into bacterial infections, and what are the risks? When bacteria enter the skin through the tattoo wound, infections can occur. According to Dr. Joshi, "Risks include redness, swelling, increased pain, and pus. If left untreated, infections can spread and lead to more severe conditions like abscesses or sepsis." Certain bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus or Pseudomonas aeruginosa, can cause infections. To minimise risks, it's crucial to choose a reputable tattoo artist, follow aftercare instructions, and monitor the tattoo site for signs of infection, seeking medical attention if symptoms persist or worsen. Prompt treatment can prevent complications. Preventive tips to follow before and after getting a tattoo Getting a tattoo is a personal and permanent decision, so it's important to be cautious and plan carefully. "Make sure to choose a reputable and licensed tattoo artist who follows strict hygiene practices," warns Dr Shareefa Chause, dermatologist at the Dr Shareefa Skin Care Clinic, Mumbai. Check their portfolio properly and ensure the studio is following all the guidelines, using sterile equipment and disposable needles. Credit: Pexels Dr. Chause adds, "Prompt hygiene will help prevent unpleasant allergies and infections. Then ensure an appropriate design and placement of your tattoo. Pick something meaningful and avoid trends that may not age well." Tattoos on certain areas, like fingers and feet, may fade faster or hurt more, so consider your pain tolerance and lifestyle. Avoid sensitive areas, so say NO to lips, eyes, ears, and nose. If you have any health conditions like diabetes, allergies, or skin issues, talk to your doctor beforehand. "Don't get a tattoo if you're sick, pregnant, or healing from surgery. Before your appointment, eat a good meal, stay hydrated, and avoid alcohol or blood-thinning medications," says Dr. Chause. Aftercare of Tattoos: Aftercare is just as important, so follow your artist's instructions, keep the tattoo clean, and avoid sun exposure or swimming until it's healed. Dr. Chause notes, "Follow the guidelines given by the expert. Taking the right precautions can help prevent infections, allergic reactions, and regret later on. The tattoo should be safe and not a matter of concern." Remember, it is permanent, and there is no room for errors. So, choose a tattoo artist wisely.

Washburn: Boston Celtics are operating from a position of weaknesses this summer
Washburn: Boston Celtics are operating from a position of weaknesses this summer This summer is expected to be one of change for the Boston Celtics. The current roster is projected to cost in the region of $500 million once luxury taxes are included in the calculation. Now that Boston isn't expected to contend for a championship next season, it makes no sense to foot such an astronomically high bill. As such, Brad Stevens could look to inject some youth into the rotation while also ducking under the second luxury tax apron. Veterans such as Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis and even Sam Hauser are all rumored to be available on the trade market in the coming months. Although both would command significant trade packages, Derrick White and Jaylen Brown could also be attainable. Nevertheless, Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe believes Boston will negotiate from a position of weakness this summer. Other teams around the league are aware of the Celtics' current financial position and their desire to get younger. Therefore, they will be operating from a position of strength in any potential negotiations. Washburn's comments came via a recent episode of CLNS Media's "Big 3" podcast.

Nancy Wilson says two 'irreplaceable' instruments have been stolen ahead of Heart's tour
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Heart have revealed that two 'irreplaceable' instruments have been stolen from them, just as they were due to embark on their June tour. The band had set up at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City on May 30, the day before the first show on their latest US jaunt but were 'devastated' to discover that two instruments had been taken from under their noses. A one-of-a-kind baritone Telecaster, featuring an intricately painted headstock custom-made for Nancy Wilson, and a vintage 1966 Gibson EM-50 mandolin that has been with the band for 25 years were both stolen. 'These instruments are more than just tools of our trade — they're extensions of our musical souls,' says Nancy Wilson. 'The baritone Tele was made uniquely for me, and Paul [Moak]'s mandolin has been with him for decades. We're heartbroken, and we're asking for their safe return—no questions asked. Their value to us is immeasurable.' Such is the personal value of the distinctive instruments that a reward is being offered to anyone with relevant information. Individuals with information can contact tour manager Tony Moon via email at tonymoon@ The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees are on the road with fellow hall of famers Cheap Trick, and Squeeze, celebrating 40 years since the release of their wildly successful self-titled album. Wilson recently reflected on the making of 1985's Heart, telling Guitar World, that while her beloved acoustic guitar had been the cornerstone of the band's sound, she felt 'pressured' by producer Ron Nevison to ditch the acoustics if they wanted to resonate with the contemporary audience. '[Heart] revitalized the band,' she explained in the same piece. 'It took us up to a whole other level of global success, so there's nothing I regret about what we did or where we compromised.' The latest dates come after they were forced to cancel a 2024 tour, as Ann Wilson revealed she was undergoing cancer treatment. The singer promised they'd be back in 2025, and she has been true to her word. It makes the theft of the two instruments even more heartbreaking. Guitar World hopes they return to the band – as Nuno Bettencourt found following the onstage theft of his prized Washburn, sometimes these stories can have a happy ending.
