Sierra Gates Reveals Her Hospitalization
On Sunday, April 15, Gates took to her Instagram Story to let fans know she was “officially admitted into the hospital.”

“I love you guys so much,” she explained. “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 went on to explain that her tattoo is large and runs from the top of her stomach to the end of her leg. In a follow-up post, Gates explained that she will be in the hospital for the next five to seven days and even has to learn how to walk again.

The ‘Love & Hip Hop’ Star Returned To Social Media With More Info About Her Experience
On Monday, April 15, Gates returned to her Instagram Story and shared additional words about her experience.

“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…”
