Did you take a tattoo since you have crohn?

[Daveke1991]

The title sais it all.

Since you have Crohn, did you put a tattoo?
I have 2 but I took them before my diagnosis.
I'm about to take a new one on saturday.
I just would like to know if it's dangerous? what can the sideeffects be?

Thanks

Yes, I have a "crohns" tattoo.....
It's the word Strength across my stomach.
If you go to a clean shop, you shouldn't have any "side effects"

Yes I have two dolfins on my back, go to a clean legal shop, make sure they use disposable needles (In the shop I went to they gave me the needles after the tatoo as a souvenir). Follow all the istructions about taking care of the wound and you will be fine,
