Not recommended as always an infection risk. Remember, your immune system is surpressed and and you need to avoid infection risks. This also goes for piercings.

Hi. I had my ABOi transplant on 23 April and I've been told I need to wait at least 6 months before I even think about having a tattoo. As long as you seek advise from your renal unit and go by what they say, you'll be ok
