Getting a tattoo can be very cool but it can also end up horribly. Maybe it doesn't look the way you hoped, maybe it hurt, or maybe it caused you to stop sweating and lose hair!

You don't want that to happen when you go to get a tattoo. Unfortunately, that's what happened to a 36-year-old Polish man after he decided to get some ink. He ended up developing a rare condition months after getting the tattoo that led to him losing all his hair and his ability to sweat. Have you ever heard of anything like that?

According to LAD Bible, 4 months after getting his red flower tattoo on his forearm, the Polish man started to experience intense itching, skin peeling, and a rash formed around the tattoo. Eventually, the lumps enlarged and became inflamed patches. The rash then developed into erythroderma which is reportedly a medical condition that leaves the skin inflamed, red, and peeling, per LAD Bible.

He ended up losing all the hair on his head, face, and body, as a result of alopecial universalis and had hypohidrosis which is reduced sweating and developed into total anhidrosis which means the body could no longer sweat or cool itself naturally, per LAD Bible.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
