I had a coarctation of the aorta, can i get a tattoo?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Caution needed...: Tattoos are invasive procedures, and can cause serious skin infections if precautions are not used. If you do decide to get a tattoo, you should consult a professional studio, make sure a sterilized needle is used, and the skin site should be thoroughly cleaned. Remember, less than sterile tattoo needles can also transmit hepatitis b and c, as well, so be careful!
