Tactical Fashion Police – SHOT Show Tattoo Gone Bad
June 1st, 2016This photo was sent to me by longtime SSD reader Lasse and taken from InstaGram (@jasonlouitattoo). Below is the story.
After getting tattooed for 3 days straight a total of 14 hrs at ShotShow in Vegas, not surprisingly Jared got a massive infection, MRSA and had to be on heavy antibiotics. I was lucky enough to see pictures of Jareds leg while healing and I can honestly say I have never seen any tattoos with the kind of lime green pus oozing from it. He had a long 4 months of recovery and damn lucky to still be walking around. I was happy to help him redo and fix up his @sigsauerinc #P228 for him. Next we fix up the rest of the leg.
