How long no tattoo after a skin removal surgery? I'm 6 weeks post op 360° body lift and arm lift.

Asked By:ectt97 in Germany, DE

I want a new tattoo and my old ones touched up. How long should I wait to get a tattoo? (Not on the new scars!) I have no wound or scabbing left from the surgeries but of course I'm still recovering. Is it safe to get a small tattoo on eg my wrist or ankle yet?
