Not recommended: In general, it is best to take care of one thing at a time. Although tattoos have a low complication rate, there are problems that can occur, such as severe skin infections. I would recommend that you take care of your gallbladder first, and when fully recovered, you can think about getting your tattoo.

Yes: It should be fine, but i would avoid getting the ratio on your abdomen where your incision(s) could be located.
