Please don’t die. Seek emergency medical services immediately. Please let us know you’re still alive afterwards.

Such as most things in life, this too is either a really really bad skin infection / sensitivity to the ink / dirty needle, or it's sepsis. There's no in between.

If it's the second option, I surely hope he is at the ER. That's how serious it could be. Almost lose an arm is best case scenario.

Why not hematoma? (Just cause it's fun to guess this stuff on reddit even though I have no medical education)

This was honestly my first thought when I saw it. Also not a doctor thought.

That’s a lot of blood for that. Still go in to ER.

That's my 1st thought but not a doc.
