Tattoos - FAQ

If I have diabetes can I still get a tattoo?

Tattoos should only be done by a registered tattooist who adheres to good standards. It is important to remember that if you do not have good control, you may be prone to infection, poor healing, and scaring. Individuals with sensory (feeling) neuropathy would be well advised not to have a tattoo.
