Hi just wondering of anyone had got a tattoo while on chemo tablets. I've read it my take more time to heal. X
Hi, i am not on treatment, so cannot answer, i would like a Tattoo though when i made inquires , they said i could not because i was on a high does of blood thinners.
Other wise i would have got one.
Hope some one comes along, to advise you.
Hope you have a bit brighter today, xx
I think there is a risk of infection whilst you are on chemo. My sister ended up in hospital with sepsis from a paper cut whilst she was on chemo, so I wouldn’t advise it x
I have been advised that tattoos are generally not a good idea while on any treatment as they are like creating an open wound that needs healing and your body needs all the energy it has to combat the rest of what it is dealing with
