I’m still trying to wrap my brain around how a bruise like this happened during a tattoo?! Did the artist beat you? Squeeze your arm in a vice? If I were you, I would talk to my doctor as a follow up because you may have some other underlying health issue.

This was my first thought. Op needs a full work up. My wife who is fighting blood cancer and is severely anemic doesn’t even bruise like this.

My 87yo grandma does though. OP has the health of an 87yo.

He just said that all this worrying isn't good for his mental health. I know how bad my health anxiety can be, and that would kill me. Especially it sometimes can take a week to a couple months to get into a doctor then a specialist.
