A member asked:
Can i get a tattoo behind my ear or any other part of the body if i had (hzo) shingles in the eye a year and a half ago?

Not a problem: You can get tattooing in all the desired body areas with no regard for your Zoster infection. Consider the long term effect of what your tattoo will look like. Avoid using names no matter how devoted you are as relationships frequently change. Avoid inks (discuss with the artist) that can fade over time or spread with time. Consider also that you might gain or lose weight in that area.
