‘LHHATL’ Star Sierra Gates’ Foot Paralized After Getting Giant Leg Tattoo!! (Disturbing Pics)
Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta star, Sierra Gates, landed in the hospital after she was inked with a new tattoo sleeve that stretched from her stomach to her calf.
The reality star took to Instagram to share that she ended up in the hospital after the effects of the numbing cream faded.
Gates used a product called Monster Numb, which effectively took away the pain completely—until it wore off. The entrepreneur, who is marketing the numbing product, went from feeling nothing to being slammed with overwhelming pain.
Gates told fans and followers — “I got my whole leg done but my brain told my body it was too much trauma after the numbing wore off.”
She explained in a separate post that she was admitted to the hospital amid the intense pain.
Gates said — “I love you guys so much and I just want to say, again, if you are going to do ‘Monster Numb’ tattoos, do not get it crazy big like I did. Because when it numbs off, you’re gonna be in crazy pain and when you’re getting it done, you’re gonna be so numb, you don’t feel nothing. Nothing. But if you are a person that can take pain, I would say to still get it… but just be mindful that when the numbing cream wears off you’re gonna start feeling it — yeah.”
Gates asked her followers for prayers and shared that she might have to stay in the hospital for up to a week. She added that she hadn’t been able to walk for three days.
“I couldn’t walk on my leg for the last 3 days, I went to the hospital, I thought it was sweet,” she wrote. “Last night when I got to the hospital they gave me them pain meds but when them test results came back and meds wore off & I couldn’t walk at all.”

Gates appeared optimistic amid the painful ordeal, writing — “I’m a real soldier and I’ll be back better than ever.”
She added that she would only get “smaller tattoos from now on out! Or maybe none.”
She also posted a video of herself trying to get around on a walker alongside a medical pro, on her Instagram Stories.
Some critics joked in the comment section that Gates’ experience wasn’t the sharpest marketing strategy for selling the numbing cream. Others remarked that asking for prayer after an impulsive business decision wasn’t the best look.
Gates’ latest update confirmed that she still wasn’t back on her feet.
“Hey y’all day 3 and still can’t walk on my leg,” she wrote in an Instagram Story. “I don’t feel good at all.”
