Can i get a tattoo if i have Factor V Leiden?

Answer 1

I don't see any reason why not. ask your doctor first before you do. but I have three large tattoos and I got all of them long before I ever had found out that Factor V Leiden. I got one of mine touched up today and I was perfectly fine. it's not cutting deep into the skin, only touching the surface. when I was diagnosed I was also not warned against tattoos, just medications. it's all about if you want to take the risk. I am 21 years old and apparently this blood clotting disorder has been in my family for generations, no one knew about it until 3 months ago. and I had gotten my last tat at least a year before I was diagnosed. I never had problems before, I know my artist personally and very well he works in a great shop and always uses clean needles and sanitizes everything. I wouldnt worry honestly but it's never a bad idea ro ask your doctor before hand. hope that helps :)
