Will Previous Open Heart Surgery Prevent Me From Having A Tattoo?
When i was 12 days old and 4 years old, i had open heart surgery (transposition of the great arteries) I'm now 17 and am hoping to get a tattoo when i turn 18. My heart specialist says i'm and good and very healthy. Will previous open heart surgery prevent me from being able to get a tattoo later in life?

Hello,
I assume there is no left out heart problem now like any leakages. If not then you can have tatoo and should be done under sterile conditions as much as possible.
