Drugs & Tattoos?

[Lion]

So i got a tattoo today.
It didn't bleed much at all.
I can't drink alcohol, because i don't know lol.
The guy said smoking shouldn't be a big problem, but what about other drugs??? Mdma, Xtc, ... ? Can they do any damage to the tattoo?

Can anybody help me on this?
Peace!

if mdma makes your skin flush- go red, you should avoid it. if it doesnt it should be ok. i went to the pub, took speed and acid and all sorts on the day i got my tat and it did no harm

 

[Lion]

alright, i'll await some more comments and then decide tomorrow.
i'm going to a festival so that's the reason i ask.. to take some xtc or mdma there.

 

[Lion]

Nobody else???

I think drugs don't really affect it. The ink is in the upper skin layer right?

Don't expose it to sun though, that's essential 8)

I heared the main concern with drugs and tattoos is that drugs make your blood coagulate more diffucult.

In the best Dutch movie of the past few years there was this character who thought that his tattoos were falling off when he was shrooming. He stapled them to his skin. :roll:

It's some negative publicity but it's funny :lol:

What was the name of the film?

 

[Forkbender]

Simon.

Must add that it is just one sentence to introduce this character. It's not played out that much, you just see him sitting there with all these bandages on his tattoos, while the voice over tells the story.

 

[Lion]

Lol, i'm not gonna do shrooms, but i can imagine the effect of that hahaha
Anyway. I'll wait untill friday to take some X.

I know about the sun. I'm a redhead so i need to take extra care besides that.. i don't think the sun will shine for another two weeks.. so i'm cool haha
