Hi I was booked in to get my tattoo finished but my consultant said I can't with taking MTX . Not sure if it applies to everyone though .

I am on mtx too but have no tattoos. I would contact your rheumatology team for advice.

Did you end up getting the tattoo? I’m really curious as I am on methotrexate and was also thinking of getting one :)
