Twitch streamer and music producer PlaqueBoyMax is back to creating content after spending three weeks in the hospital. He was treated for a serious skin infection related to his tattoos.
Tattoos, similar to piercings, are basically minor injuries that need proper cleaning and care to heal well—something PlaqueBoyMax unfortunately discovered firsthand.
The streamer, who has worked with artists like DDG and Wiz Khalifa, went to the hospital on September 15th because of severe shoulder pain. He felt so sick he was vomiting while being taken to the emergency room.
After that, I started posting little videos online just to let everyone know I was okay. I kept telling people to appreciate their health, and I really wanted to thank them for all the support they were sending my way.

When Max first got hurt, doctors thought he’d dislocated his shoulder. But after going to another hospital, they realized it was actually an infection – a really strange one, apparently. I remember seeing a video where he said his doctors had never dealt with anything like it before. He was in so much pain, he said his arm felt awful and he could hardly even walk. It was really scary to watch!
After three weeks of uncertainty, Max learned what caused his infection: he hadn’t cleaned his new tattoos well enough.
PlaqueBoyMax says he got skin infection from new tattoos
On October 8th, the streamer shared with his audience that an old tattoo on his chest and collarbone had become infected. He hadn’t been taking care of the tattoo, and it led to a painful shoulder and trouble walking.
He admitted he hadn’t been properly caring for his tattoo, and it became seriously infected. Despite the health scare, which he called a ‘wake-up call,’ he joked that he’d still get tattoos in the future.
He cautioned everyone to be careful if they get tattoos. He stressed the importance of proper skincare, explaining that infections are a real possibility and can be very unpleasant. He admitted he hadn’t realized infections were even a risk before.
PlaqueBoyMax recently spent three weeks in the hospital after developing a serious infection in his tattoos. He says this happened because he didn’t care for them properly. 🙏

He showed he can now lift his arm almost all the way up, though he’s still recovering and needs IVs until he’s fully well.
Viewers sent supportive messages to the streamer, who was deeply touched by visits from fellow streamers Silky, Kaysan, and Stableronaldo on the day he was hospitalized.
Viewers have expressed concern for several streamers’ health recently. In 2024, StableRonaldo shared during a livestream that he was experiencing migraines and vision problems. Similarly, Asmongold announced he’d been hospitalized due to chest discomfort, where tests revealed he had very high blood pressure after receiving an electrocardiogram.
