What to do if i got my tattoo a week ago and the whole week i felt sick like throwing up. what was wrong?

Tattoo: It is possible you have a virus and the fact that it happened after the tattoo is just a coincidence. It is also possible that you got an infection (like hepatitis) from the tattoo. If the symptoms don't go away, see your doctor.
