so I have always wanted a tattoo and am thinking of getting one soon.  I'm curious if anyone has gotten a tattoo while on remicade or another immune supressant.

Yep...I got two while on 6mp with no issue whatsoever. :)

I started mine while on Imuran with no issues. Here is a thread about it

speaking of tattoos...scum1, you need to present the healed product!

Beth...what's your tattoo that you'll be getting?

Hey Q,

Something to do with the ocean, shells, starfish, seahorse etc. found a fantastic artist that does ocean tattoos. I want it to go from behind my ear along the hairline, so I can cover it up easily, but be able to see it when I want.

I wanna tattoo! Sounds cool beth. I'm sure its safe. You're in North America not a third world country.

Just make sure it's from a reputable tattooist and that all needles are thoroughly sanitized. Good luck! :)

"back in the day" My doc said I could get one. My Artist used disposable needles, (I watched him unwrap) and single use ink pots, (I watched him unseal)
