DISCLAIMER RISKS

Don't get a tattoo:

  • In places where you have had plastic surgery or radiation in the past year;
  • On a scar that is less than a year old;
  • in a spot tattooed less than six weeks ago;
  • in a place where a tattoo was lasered away less than three months ago;
  • On irritated skin such as bumps, dark moles or swelling;
  • If you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs;
  • If you are allergic to tattoo materials or ink.

In addition, it is not recommended to get a tattoo if any of the following situations apply to you:

  • diabetes
  • problems with blood clotting
  • chronic skin disease
  • a lowered immune system
  • cardiovascular abnormalities
  • pregnancy or breastfeeding

Do any of these situations apply to you but you still want to get a tattoo? If so, we strongly recommend that you discuss your plans for a tattoo with your treating physician first. Your doctor has the best insight into the stability of your physical condition (with or without the use of medication). This allows him or her to best assess what the risks are when you get a tattoo. In addition, read through the advice below, which contains some additional explanation about the risks of getting a tattoo in your situation.

 

ADVICE FOR PEOPLE WITH DIABETES

  • Make sure your hemoglobin A1c level and overall blood glucose level are under control before you get tattooed. This will reduce your chances of developing a wound infection or inflammation during and after tattooing. To be sure of the correct level, it's best to prick yourself right before getting tattooed.
  • In general, discuss your plans for tattooing with your attending physician first.

     

ADVICE FOR PEOPLE WITH BLOOD CLOTTING DISEASES AND PEOPLE TAKING ANTICOAGULANTS

  • If you have a blood clotting disorder or are taking anticoagulants, your skin may bleed faster during tattooing and bleed longer than other people. To minimize the risk of serious bleeding, large tattoos are not recommended. If you do want a large tattoo, preferably have it done in several passes.
  • In general, discuss your plans for getting a tattoo with your attending physician first. After all, your doctor is the best judge of the status of your blood values.

     

ADVICE FOR PEOPLE WITH CHRONIC SKIN DISEASE 

  • In the case of a chronic skin disease (such as psoriasis or sarcoidosis in the skin, for example), there is a chance that you may also develop your skin symptoms in the area you have had tattooed. This is called the Koebner phenomenon. To reduce the chances of this, it is not recommended that you get a tattoo at times when your skin disease is very active. And also preferably do not get a tattoo in places where your skin disease is frequent.
  • If you have ever had melanoma (skin cancer), or it runs in your family, it is not recommended to get a tattoo. On tattooed skin, new melanomas are harder to detect at an early stage.
  • In general, discuss your plans for tattooing with your attending physician first.

     

ADVICE FOR PEOPLE WITH IMMUNE DISORDERS OR MEDICATIONS THAT CAN WEAKEN THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

  • Even when done safely and hygienically, you are at risk of infection when getting a tattoo. If you have an immune disorder (this includes leukemia) or are taking medications that can weaken the immune system, this risk is increased. Therefore, always discuss your plans for getting a tattoo with your attending physician first.

     

ADVICE FOR PEOPLE WITH CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE 

  • If you have a heart or vascular disease, there is a risk that tattooing can cause endocarditis (an infection of the inner wall of the heart). Because of this risk, it is not recommended that you get a tattoo if you do not have your heart condition under optimal control.
  • In general, always discuss your plans for tattooing with your attending physician first.

     

ADVICE FOR PREGNANT AND BREASTFEEDING WOMEN

  • Do not get a tattoo if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Not all risks surrounding tattooing for pregnant women are known. In addition, should you get an infection as a result of the tattoo, you should not take certain anti-infection medications because of the risk to your (unborn) child.

- The aftercare treatment is given at the end of your tattoo.
- The tattoo will be charged on the day.
