Hi all just a quick question, I'm thinking of having a tattoo on the inside of my wrist to symbolise the hard battle I have been through, finished all treatment in September last year , how long do you have to wait or indeed if you can have at all , any answers or advice very much appreciate.....thanks
Hi Brunette 23
I waited a year after treatment to have my tattoo but don't think there is a specific amount of time. The only information I have come across is they recommend 6 months too a year if you want a tattoo on your mastectomy site.
Below is my tattoo to show that I have come out the side .
