It was very mild though and I only had to eat something to get back to normal. It's the first tattoo I've had done since diagnosis and I now know I need to eat a lot more before having them done <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
