A member asked:

Is it acceptable to take ibuprofen before, during, and after a tattoo procedure on/near eyes? some says it's bad- thins the blood and make you bleed

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Should be OK.: Theoretically correct, but practically incorrect. Menstruating women use ibuprofen ( and other similar medications ) for cramps. Motrin is frequently used for many aches and pains associated with minor bleeding.
