A member asked:
I'm getting my wisdom teeth taken out, would it be safe to get a tattoo just a few days before the procedure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It is never a good idea to get a tattoo. Tattoos are a form of self-mutilation and a medium for transmission of infections. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
