Is this enough time to get a tattoo after Accutane?

Asked By:AnonymousV231 in Jayuya, Jayuya, Puerto Rico

I was on isotretinoin (accutane) for 5 months, im currently on my 4th month after the treatment. I had a dosage of 20mg the first month, and then 60mg for the rest. (Daily) My height is around 5’1, i weigh around 130 pounds. I’ve been thinking about getting a small tattoo recently, no bigger than an inch maybe but I’ve been scared because of all the reviews i’ve seen on getting one after accutane and hvaing to wait 6 months. I’ve been getting my eyebrows waxed just fine though.
