A member asked:
I am a kidney recipient. however, i have keloids on my neck and chest. is it possible that i can get a tattoo?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Recommend against it: Even if you were not a kidney transplant recipient, if you have keloids, getting a tattoo can trigger keloids to form at the site of the tattoo. In addition, since you are going to be on anti-rejection meds, you do have a higher risk of developing skin infections.
