Lupus and tattoo removal? Please help.

October 1, 2016
Asked By:jks1 in Australia, AU

I have lupus and also take warfarin, I would like to get a tattoo removed but there is limited information available for people with lupus and the risks of getting their tattoo's removed. Is laser a safe option? is it even possible for someone with an autoimmune disease to have their tattoo removed?
