Would It Be Safe to Get a Tattoo on Arm Before Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty?

April 27, 2012
Asked By:j0214 in Chicago

I have my septoplasty and rhinoplasty in five days but I've been wanting to get a tattoo on my inner arm or my foot. Would it be safe to get it before my surgery? Or should I wait till after? If so, how long after is it safe to get my tattoo?
