Would It Be Ok to Get a Tattoo 3 Days After Breast Implants on my Forearm?
Answer: Tattoo 3 days after breast augmentation is probably safe. Reread the word BEFORE safe!
I agree with my colleagues who advise waiting. Though the risks are extremely low, why take any unnecessary risk? Do you really want a tattoo to distract people from looking at your chest? Even if this tattoo is something you have planned for a long time and entirely separately from your breast enlargement surgery, there really is no reason to have it done during a time when you are still healing, and susceptible to bacteremia if your tattoo were to become infected.
Besides, tattoos are often more permanent than the desire to have them--I perform laser tattoo removal all the time for patients whose lives, wants, and "forever" beliefs somehow change. Consider a small, inconspicuous, and easily-removed tattoo if you MUST have one! BTW, my daughters have tattoos--they got the same advice from Dad.

Answer: Wait a few weeks You should probably wait as your body is still early on in its recovery. You need to focus your energies on recovering from surgery first before considering a tattoo, and you wouldn't want to compromise your healing process with a possible infection caused by the tattoo.

Answer: No Tattoo
No Tattoo this early on-you need to wait several months and consult with your PS when it's safe to go ahead with it-you are too swollen initially.

Answer: Can I Get a Tattoo 3 Days Post- Breast Augmentation?
I would recommend waiting until you have completely recovered from the breast augmentation surgery, about 4-6 weeks to be cautious. There is a risk of infection from the tattoo itself and this can potentially cause unnecessary problems immediately after surgery.
