Forum Discussion: Is it Safe to Get a Tattoo Before Minor Surgery?

"I'm posting on [behalf] of a friend, who might be having minor sugery soon. We've planned tattoos at a local tattoo convention this weekend! We're both majorly excited and ready! But something came up this weekend and now she has to have a minor surgery. Currently it's not scheduled, but it could be coming up soon. This isn't her first tattoo. Any side effects, from getting tattoo before surgery? Since it really isn't a matter of major blood loss or near the surgery site...any ideas?" -tattooedtaurus
