Tip of the day "Tis the season for Antibiotics"

by · Steve Phipps · January 13, 2014

If you have tattoos that are already healed, you have nothing to worry about if you need an antibiotic prescription. However if you are planning getting tattooed while on antibiotics or have recently finished a prescription (within 2 weeks), it is a good idea to wait until they are out of your system. 

To my knowlege there has not been any formal research on this, but from my experience I have noticed tattoos that people receive while on antibiotics often heal to look much older or faded.
