Hello. i am a diabetic patient with type 1 diabetes. insulin depender. i am 18 years old. can i have a tattoo ?

Better not: and most probably you won't have a problem, but if you get infected, it might be hard to treat, and removing the tattoo later, if you will, would pose another risk for infection, other alternate makeup/decorations would fill the gap instead, wish you well
