I have kidney cancer,and i was wondering is it safe for me to get a tattoo.? i'm in remission for 2 years now and was always dying to get a tattoo

Congratulations: I'm glad you are doing well after your treatment for renal cancer - regular follow-up with your urologist remains important. As a physician, I counsel patients that tattoos can potentially subject them to blood-bourne infectious disease, such as Hepatitis. Given this risk, I am unaware of any specific additional risk to patients with a history of renal cancer.

Tattoo: I would not advise a tattoo for legal reasons because it can become infected. However, if you survived Renal CA , you most likely can survive a simple tattoo. If you are really concerned, try a little one first to be sure you are not allergic to the ink and then go for it. Be sure the needles are sterilized.
