Getting Tattoos and RA...

[marie66]

Kinda following on from cosana’s post re tattoos has anyone had a tattoo done after diagnosis? I have one little tattoo done over 20 years ago but I’d like to add a little one with my grand-babies names so...Anybody had one done and did it affect your RA? Cheers for any info. M x

Hi Marie, The majority of my tattoos were done after I was diagnosed with RA, I can’t say that they had any effect on it at all. Never had any problem with infection afterwards either. I’m planning my next one soon. The only difficulty for me is sitting still and finding a position that I am comfortable in. Go for it ! 😊

I’ve had 3 done since I was diagnosed in 1996 with no issues at all
