Is it safe to have a tatoo if your Diabetic?!


Question:

Is it safe to have a tatoo if your Diabetic?

I am insulin dependant diabetic, And thinking of getting a small tat on my shoulder. I have to be careful of infection as it affects sugar levels, but Is there anyone like me who has one already that is also diabetic?? is it safe???


Answers:

If you are fit and your diabetic control is good your risks will be similar to anyone else. You should wash and dry the tattoo in the shower, rather than rubbing it, and you can then apply a small amount of Savlon cream, this will reduce the infection risk.
