A member asked:

Can a new tattoo cause muscle spasms? got it wednesday spasms started saturday morning(aest) i already suffer in leg but they due to lack of movement

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: The tattoo itself is only skin deep so it is unlikely to have caused the spasms.. More likely, the position that you must have held during the tattooing contributed to the fatigue and eventual spasms.
