My son is currently getting Remicade treatments and has been wanting to get a tatoo. Anyone have any insight on this? I know with chemotherapy for cancer, they ususally won't do it. Also, the effects on your body with alcohol and Remicade.
Hi I've had crohns since I was 3 (am now 23) my sister paid for us to get a tattoo while I was on double doses of remicade every 6 weeks. Didn't have a problem at all, and I usually ALWAYS have problems, lol. It's strange but getting a tattoo gave me a sense of spirit while I was otherwise in a burnt out place. Hope this helped, my GI hadn't raised any concerns either.

I have had crohns since 2003 and had gotten a tattoo after being diagnosed. I started remicade and it worked beautifully. Got a tattoo and ended up in the hospital with a wicked flare-up. I don't regeret the tattoo but I did spend 3 days in the hosptal.

I would wait by: Vanessa
HMm that is a good question. I took Remocade for more than 1 year and a half and I know that with this medication, you have to be very careful with of infections. So if I was him, I would wait or ask my I specialist.
Good luck :)
