Make sure to follow the instructions for the tattoo to heal up properly.

I had two small one done along my back, in the middle. I wasn't worried too much about healing because I don't "bleed endlessly" even if I am on a low dosage of ASA (blood thinner).

If your doctor also gave you their o.k., then I would not be too worried.

Good luck, and be warned :) The tattooing will hurt like a b.... :) ;)
