It's OK IF & ONLY IF: The medication was prescribed for you by your doctor and you are taking it according to instructions and for the purpose you were given it to take.

I suppose: I don't mean to judge you. Really. But I'm curious. In a way, it's refreshing that a guy is not embarrassed about anxiety - even one macho enough for a tattoo. In a way it blows my mind. I don't think it will do you harm. So, it's fine. Did you ever think of learning ways to confront anxiety and lessen its threat? CBT therapy can help if you ever decide to go non-pharma. Hope it looks great!
