Diabetes and tattoos

Hi there,I don’t have any tattoos yet but  I would love to get one, only thing holding me back is my doctor they say it could scar, I already have a scar on my leg from the skin cells diying and won’t grow back, I’ve been to different tattoo artists which have given me different opinions, some say it will just take longer to heal, and some say it will scar if it’s on my legs but upper body will be okay (the scars are normaly around the shin area)  reason they said it would scar is because my blood sugars aren’t level and are all over the place, could I please get some advice as I’m diying for a tattoo! And would love to know if anyone has experience tattooing diabetics with bad blood sugar or if you have diabetes yourself and have been tattooed 

(I have type 1 diabetes) 

thanks 

mary
