I'm ready for the onslaught, although well meaning, from certain fellas!

Fellas, a east end man has to do what he has to do! So before I was diagnosed I had began my first body tattoo, not MUM but a very tasteful de Vinci image of Christ on my back. I've spoken to the Kings TC's who have said as long as the ink is sterile and I see the needle packs open in my presence tben that's ok. Has anyone else had a tattoo post transplant and if so how was it? Cheers me old muckers!

I know a couple who have had a tattoo done post 3 in total 2 were fine but one of them got a major infection which caused problems for nearly a year... I would just be extra cautious about who you get to finish it and take the doctors advice 😊

I was advised by one of the consultants at Kings to wait at least a couple of years. Itching to have that sleeve done on my left arm 💪
