Tattoos?

Hey guys. I'm starting humira in a week or so, with 125mg imuran. I want to get a tattoo though! Can I do this, without risking hepatitis? Thanks a bunch :)

I think if you were exposed to hepatitis you'd have to worry about that whether you were on Humira or not. :p Go to a place that is clean and trustworthy.

Been wondering about this too as I'd been planning another tatt. But I burnt myself on the cooker a week ago and it's taking an age to heal. Thinking it might be cos of the Aza? Getting the first one hurt, but what with the weekly bloodtests, I'm getting quite blase' about needles! :)

Me too. I went to get a mantoux test the other day with my GP's new nurse. She didn't know I did regular bloodtests. "oh dearie, this'll just feel like a mosquito bite"...
