Hello,
The diarrhea does not seem to be related to the tattoo. It can be related to the fear or anxiety before getting the tattoo done. I suggest to use an over the counter treatment such as Imodium to treat it. I also suggest using daily probiotics.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
