A member asked:
Could a small area of topical 5% lidocaine before tattoo influence my liver enzymes? can a tattoo itself ? as i hear an iv can, does this extend 2ink?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: What is result of liver enzyme test? Most people are not affected by lidocaine. Tattoo, if not done using sterile technique may transmit hepatitis and that will affect liver enzymes. Contaminants in ink, including bacteria may also affect liver function. I would urge you to not engage in self-mutilation called tattooing.
