Tattoo

[Buddi12]

Hi

I had a pacemaker fitted in April. I would like to get a tattoo on my wrist , is this ok to do?

There's no simple answer Buddi. If you are on blood thinners you could get bleeding abd scarring and I wouldn't consider the risk of stopping them worth it for a tattoo. There are posts here from peoples worried about stopping them for hip replacement, etc. Also if you are not 100% thdte is an increased risk of infection. Think very careful. I imagine others will reply later.

Not on blood thinners, just cholesterol and blood pressure tablets.
