Johnny Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Ok, so last year, my doctor told me it would be a good idea to take the low dose baby aspirin every day. I guess I had a very minor blockage but they thought I should do it anyway. So is it ok to continue taking it or do I need to stop before I get a tattoo? It tends to thin the blood a bit. Not like an actual blood thinner but it does thin it some. So for the tattooers or anyone who may know, do I quit them for a while or is it no big deal?

jade1955 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 @Johhny I have type two diabetes and part of my daily medication is low dose aspirin. I don't take on the day of the tattoo. I figure missing it for one day isn't going to affect my health and aspirin does thin the blood. Generally speaking I don't mind the sight of blood as long as it's not mine.:D Lochlan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 Thanks @jade1955. I was hoping it wouldnt be a great big deal. I can stop taking it for a while with no worries. It is more a precaution than anything. I just wanted to make sure it wasnt going to be a major problem. I actually think I have an easier time seeing my own blood than someone else's.

JAllen Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 you should be fine to keep taking it. i've tattooed people on presciption blood thinners and had them check with their doctors before i tattooed them to make sure it was ok. i didnt notice much difference in them bleeding while tattooing them.

slayer9019 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I know my friend bleeds like a stuck pig when getting tattooed. Never before I met him did I ever see trickles of blood running from a tattoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
