Tattoo over large veins

1 message · last activity 10/4/2009

So can anyone tell me how safe it is to tattoo over large veins? They are not varicose or spider veins, I am thinner and my veins stick out pretty bad, they buldge out. I recently had outline done on my foot & it was the worst pain ever going over the huge veins. My foot swelled up & was red for 2 to 3 days then the swelling went away & its no longer red. I wasn't sure if this was related to the veins or what. Now I'm kinda nervous to have it colored die to how much my veins stick out. Any advice before I go under the needle for color?
