HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Fever, fatigue and weakness are symptoms of infection. This may or may not be related to your recent tattoo.
If the tattoo area appears infected- warm, tender, increased redness, pain- then it is possible that there is a connected and antibiotic treatment may be needed
If there is no indication of infection in this area then the symptoms have another source.
You may need to visit your doctor for an assessment and treatment
I hope this helps
