Teenage girl loses her baby and will not be able to walk again after breast tattoo gets infected
A pregnant teenager has lost her baby and has been left in a wheelchair for the rest of her life after the tattoo on her right breast got infected.
Luisa Fernanda, 16, fell ill after the tattoo became infected. She was pregnant at the time and doctors told the mum-to-be that she would never walk again after the infection spread into her spinal cord.
She underwent surgery to drain off some of the liquid caused by the infection but then developed problems with her appendix. She also had to take a lot of medicine and, as a result, she had a miscarriage and lost the son she was carrying. She then needed further treatment to help her deal with depression caused by the loss of her baby.
