Can I get a small tattoo lasered off after having received Kidney Transplant?

I would speak with your Dr, but laser tattoo removal shouldn't be a problem for you. Also, the tattoo can be removed with MicropenTR which is not a laser and can be used for tattoo removal. I recommend an evaluation with an expert in tattoo removal in order to determine the best options for you.  Best, Dr. Emer.

You should be able to safely have the tattoo removed without it affecting your transplant.  However, prior to undergoing any treatment, you should confirm with your transplant physician that he or she is in agreement.

It is perfectly safe to get tattoo removal with a kidney transplant. It will not affect your kidneys. Make sure the provider is aware of the transplant so if there is a complication with healing, he will be able to treat it appropriately.

Having your tattoo removed via laser should not give you any problems with your kidney transplant. However, due to your medical history I would consult with your surgeon prior to getting any type of treatments done. Please see a board certified dermatologist for the best results.  Best, Dr. Green

I don't think having a transplant would preclude you from having your tattoo removed. I would recommend being cleared by your surgeon prior to treatment to be safe.
