Is it safe to get a tattoo 3 days before beginning accutane?

Don't do it: There's enough anecdotal evidence that Isotretinoin will slow or interfere with the healing of your tattoo. Wait until you're through the course. Congratulations on your courage in undertaking this rx -- it's not for the faint-hearted. This is an intense time for you right now, and probably not the time to get inked in any case. I'm a tattoo buff and have two of my own -- wait till things settle.
