A member asked:

I got two wisdom teeth extracted a little over 48 hours ago and i'm going to finish a tattoo on my ribs at about 72 hours after, is that okay?

Not related: Should not be a problem. Not related to the mouth. Good Luck.

Wisdom tooth: I don't see any problems with this. As long as you feel up to it then go for it. This shouldn't have any effect on the healing of your wisdom teeth.

You should be ok: I see no reason why you should hold on getting the tattoo. Be sure you go to reputable tattoo parlor that uses sterile technique :)

OK: Should be alright. If the surgeon gave you an antibiotic, be sure to keep taking it.
