Blood cancer - tattoo

Hi all, I’ve been newly diagnosed with a type of incurable blood cancer (mycosis fungoides - stupidest name ever), and now that treatment is all wrapped up I want to get a tattoo to celebrate. Can you get a tattoo with blood cancer?

  • Hi CatC21,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. Unfortunately I'm not sure of the answer to your question! The best thing would always be to get the advice of a medical professional to be on the safe side.
