She very well may have had a seizure. Being unconscious for any number of seconds could indicate a seizure and especially after getting a tattoo my concern is that of infection that could have seeded to the bloodstream. I recommend you go to either an Urgent Care or ER for a checkup and bloodwork. Write me at: www.bit.ly/drdariushsaghafi
