Can you get a tattoo if you have the shingles?

Answer 1

Chlamydia is an STD. it's only transmitted from an infected partner, not a needle getting tattooed.

Answer 2

You should not get a tattoo when you are having any type of illness. Tattoos are wounds that require your immune system to heal, so if you are dealing with another illness your healing will be compromised. Also- shingles is a serious infection that you want to keep away from others who may not have gotten chicken pox and you should also not have anything done that breaks the skin allowing infection to spread while shingles is active.

Answer 3

Yes, you can. It also depends on the artist, some will not tattoo you if you are sick. It would be best to wait until you are over your cold.

Answer 4

Yes, but it is highly unrecommended even by the best in the business. They will indeed try and talk you out of it.
