I am 43 years old male. My sugar levels are in control. Can I get a tattoo done on my body, if my sugar levels are in control?

You can get tatto but make sure that it should not lead to complications. Maintain blood sugar level.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. A person with diabetes can go for getting a tattoo on the skin But there are risks involved like skin infection, leading to scarring. Allergic reactions, slow healing of the wounds. Please see that blood glucose is very strictly controlled with fasting < 200 mg & PP 150 to 160 mg & HbA1c% <6.8. Thanks.
