A member asked:
Can i get a tattoo if i have a heart condition? what are the possible effects of the ink?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infection risk: The main risk is from infection. If you have heart disease at such a young age i suspect it may be congenital meaning you were born with it and if you were to infect any of your heart valves you could become quite ill. My congenital heart disease colleagues that i know all recommend against it for their patients.
