Would it be ok to have a tattoo on my inner forearm three weeks before my rhinoplasty procedure?

Getting a tattoo can pose a certain infection risk. It goes without saying that you should use a reputable, licensed tattoo artist whom you trust. My recommendation would be to ask your board certified plastic surgeon for his/her opinion.

Thank you for your question. Although you should ask your surgeon, a tattoo on the forearm 3 weeks prior shouldn't be an issue. All the best! -Dr. P

Dear claim_staker, every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Hi. Sure you can! As long as the tattoo is not in the same area of the procedure you are good! Best of luck, Dr. Miguel Mota
