A member asked:

Is it safe for a well maintained type 2 diabetic to get a tattoo?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: First, be sure that you want a tattoo. Make sure the area is clean and has no signs of infection. Be sure that the place that you visit is a professional one ashy has been certified and uses sterilized equipment. Hope this helps.
