Is it safe to get a new tattoo a few days before having plastic surgery (tummy tuck)? If not, how long after the surgery should I wait to have the tattoo done? Thanks!

Answer: What is the rush?
Plan the tattoo after the surgical procedure. Why risk having a problem and canceling the surgery. Wait a week or two.

Answer: Tattoo before tummy tuck. It is probably not an issue to get a tattoo before surgery, but why risk it? Both procedures are elective and the tummy tuck will be the larger of the two. I would wait a couple months after the surgery before getting the tattoo, but discuss with your surgeon for his/her preference.
