Hi all,
I got a new tattoo yesterday and today am noticing somewhat elevated bloods, not excessively so, in the order of 6 to 7 where I’d normally expect 5 to 6.
now I know about high blood levels and the risk of wound healing, so was very careful and my bloods are reading okay over the last months before I did this...
but thought... tattoo is in effect a wound, I know having a illness increases blood levels, do wounds too?
overthinking probably! But honestly curious is it one way or do both affect the other?
