You can safely get a tattoo done by the traditional Japanese Teborimethod(hand tattooing) but a machine done tattoo is too risky as the electrical field of a tattoo machine can be misinterpreted by your ICD as anarrhythmia and cause it to shock you, which could kill you. The problem is finding an artist who can do hand tattooing. I searched the state of Texas for such an artist and was finally able to find one, and only a mere 50 miles from me in Tyler, Kelly's Tattoos. He uses a bamboo shaft, which he gives you when finished.
