Default Can getting a tattoo after having lymphoma cause any potential health issues? - 12-16-2008, 07:37 AM

I survived a very rare lymphoma about 5 years ago and am thinking about getting a small tattoo. However, before I get one I want to get some advice regarding any potential health issues.

I used to hate tattoos but I am considering one to honor my son who recently passed away; he loved them.I would not risk my health over it though. If you are bound and determined to do it; at least talk to your doctor first. Your immune system may still be compromised.
