A member asked:
Due to have talon navicular joint fused in my foot in mid may, is it ok to have a tattoo on my ribcage this month (april)?

No problems: Talonavicular joint fused surgery will not be effected by tattoo. There is only one very important thing you have to keep in mind; getting it done safely. Find a licensed artist. Take care.

The concern would be: if you got an infection….If I was your surgeon, I'd prefer you not too..but speak with yours…maybe they will allow..
