Tattoo while taking tkis?

Categories:

Hi every one!
I decided to do to a tattoo but I do not know if there are possible interactions between tkis(i take Sprycel) and the ink(as I know the ink is made of plants)Had anyone of you done a tattoo during his therapy with tki?
I have three tattoos but before my diagnosis....

With the possible temporary exception of someone newly diagnosed with very low platelets, there is no problem at all.

Hi David!
I am 4.5 years undetected and my platelets are in normal range!
Thank a lot for your response!

I did ask this question at one point many years ago and my consultant told me there was no problem.  I was never brave enough to carry that through.  However after surgery for beast cancer i had medical grade tattoos done that have not caused any problem.

All the best  

Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts, guys. Now I'm sure I'm ready for my first Custom Persian Tattoo's. Tbh, I've always dreamed of it. When I was a kid, I saw my older brother studying Persian. So, I asked him to teach me how to write some letters and words. Then he showed a really beautiful word which meant "sword." It was about 15 years ago, and I still want this tattoo. So, guys, I'd be grateful if you recommended a good tattoo specialist in London. I'd highly appreciate that. Thanks!
