Do Tattoos Trigger Violent Seizures In A Epileptic Person?

Hello, I am epileptic and recently got a tattoo and a few days later, I experienced a grandma seizure. I m wondering if the ink from the tattoo could have triggered the violent seizure? I m noticing that certain things I intake will trigger a epileptic seizure such as herbal teas, vitamins, sexual enhancement medicines, etc.
