ettegdirb 1 Posted April 29, 2013 I just got my most recent one 2 1/2 weeks ago. I had told myself no more tattoos until after surgery, but I changed my mind. My grandpa went into the hospital unexpectedly 3 weeks ago and passed away a few days later. My tattoo is in memory of him, it was the best way I knew how to cope. I did worry for a little while that it would affect the surgery, but now, I'm fine and it's pretty much healed. it's about 3x5" on my chest, a little underneath my collarbone. I'm hoping that if it DOES go anywhere, it just sinks down a little, which i can totally deal with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms.AntiBand 2,984 Posted April 29, 2013 You're anemic.. . You need to get healthy before you do anything major. Being anemic can be life threatening... I know for a fact. It definitely matters when fighting infection too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amytug 996 Posted April 29, 2013 Why not wait til you get to your goal weight and get a celebratory tat? I got one last spring, also my first, and it's shrunken down a bit and I wish I had waited. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paleal1107 14 Posted May 20, 2013 Thank you all for the advice. I've decided to just wait until I've reached a certain weight goal. 1 Yasmine reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
