Baby aspring and Tattoos

[Johnny]

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?

Ok, I have a spelling problem. Please dont hold it against me.

@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

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.

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.

Cool. I just made my appointment and the artist didnt have an issue with it either. I am super excited.

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.

I bleed like fuck when getting tattooed. not good , i think it makes you scabbier when healing too
