I really want a tattoo, but i have a transplanted kidney with these medications, could there be a possibility of rejecting ink? how dangerous is it?

Best avoided: You are on anti-rejection medication which also lowers your resistance to infection. There is a risk from the multiple needle sticks of a tattoo. Besides, tattoos are permanent and sometimes will haunt you in the future. There are temporary, stick on tattoos, which can be safe and you can vary these and have fun with them without and danger to yourself.
