Is it safe to get a tattoo if i have sickle cell disease?

Tattoo: There are risks involved with any similar procedures when you have blood disease. Advise getting clearance from your doctor before doing the tattooing, assuming you definitely are convinced you have to have a tattoo.

Yes: Your risk of developing any post-tattoo health complications should be the same as the general population. Go to a reputable tattoo artist who takes all of the mandatory health precautions. Go see your doc immediately if you suspect a skin infection or have a fever after the procedure.
