Can getting a tattoo after having lymphoma cause any potential health issues?

I survived a very rare lymphoma about 5 years ago and am thinking about getting a small tattoo. However, before I get one I want to get some advice regarding any potential health issues.

Can getting a tattoo after having lymphoma cause any potential health issues?
This shouldn't really effect your health in anyway, just be aware that lymphoma is a disease of the immune system and by having a tattoo you are exposing yourself to possible complications and infections. If you are concerned speak to your doctor as they should be able to answer any concerns you have. Also, find a reputable tattoist and ask their advice to see what they say.
Reply:I used to hate tattoos but I am considering one to honor my son who recently passed away; he loved them.





I would not risk my health over it though. If you are bound and determined to do it; at least talk to your doctor first. Your immune system may still be compromised.
Reply:ask a doctor and/or the person who is giving you the tattoo if you getting it done by a pro. if not see a doctor
Reply:You may better avoid the tattoo for the fear of a malignancy.
