Just checking, did you mean any side effects from getting a tattoo?

Hi - your question isn't very clear but I think you are asking are there side effects from getting a new tattoo? Personally I have no experience of this - but I know that cuts take much longer to heal on me, due to both lupus and drugs. I also know that I have a reduced immune system (for the same reasons) so any bugs or diseases find it easier to get to me.

Personally - I wouldn't get a tattoo for these reasons, but if you are determined to go ahead make sure you go somewhere really clean, and that you follow all the aftercare instructions very carefully for as long as it takes to heal, which may be longer than the prescribed time.

Not what you're looking for?
