its been discussed on here before, it will affect/effect?(nevr know which is the right one to use) you sugar levels as many things do, depends how big the tattoo, how long the sitting will be etc but best thing to do is make sure your levels are ok before you sit down to get started and also have a sugary drink with you incase your sugars do dip.
i have some tattoos all done after i was diagnosed T1. never had any issues with my sugar levels apart from once when i took to much insulin but that was before i even arrived so doesnt count :wink: i asked my diabetic doctor before gettin my first couple done but after gettin a lecture about do i really want a tattoo? do i know if the place is clean? how can i know for sure if it is clean? etc i have given up askin and just get them done
some people say that gettin them done on places you inject can sometimes cause it to take longer to heal and that you should take extra care on the aftercare of it but that i look after mine the same way everyone i know who gets them done and i have been ok everytime.
Hope that helps?
out of noseyness(spelling??) what you getting done?
