A member asked:
Is it okay to get a tattoo on my ankle 3 weeks before a knee reconstruction surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Don’t risk infection which would delay or complicate surgery. The tattoo is elective, so wait until you are completely healed from your upcoming surgery. If you must decorate your ankle, consider a henna tattoo.
