How soon after a BA can I get tattoos?

May 29, 2017
Asked By:cambria3812 in Phoenix, AZ

I asked my tattoo artist on her opinion on a tattoo and she recommended to wait after I have my surgery, since the implants may stretch and pull my skin resulting in a warped piece. How soon after my surgery should I wait to get it done?
