A member asked:
My new tattoos are ruined, as boiling water accidentally poured on it, and now it's scarred, would it be okay to go back and get my tattoos re-done?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tattoos : I would recommend no more tattoos because of risk of infections and some recent data showing increases risk of sarcoidosis.
