Dave.Ladner replied to Ams's discussion 'Tattoos with diabetes?'"I have 2 tattoos - one being Diabetes related! - and my A1C's were probably around 9-10 when I got both of them. They healed just fine and I did not have any problems.
The most important thing I think is that you keep super good control of your…"

high a1c?
I am planning on getting a tattoo sometime next week, my a1c last month was not too great, it was 13. but i have been doing really good since, so i know its gone down some, not alot but some.everywhere i read people say they had out of control sugars, but tattoo healed fine cause they had better control before and after the tattoo and they took care of it properly.so im asking what was your a1c when you got your tattoos? and how did they heal?See More

If you have tattoos, or simply admire others' ink, this is your home! If you've ever had people say, "Tattoos? But you're diabetic!", come on in! Share artists, responsible studios, locales...A place to share your ink (keep it tasteful, kiddies!)See More

Crystal replied to Ams's discussion 'advice? stories?'"I have my eyebrow and naval and when I got my eyebrow done my a1c was around 10 as well. It's not the greatest idea to get pierced when your sugars are high obviously because of infection.I was pretty lucky,but my immune system is pretty good…"
Holger Schmeken replied to Ams's discussion 'advice? stories?'"10 is equal to a mean glucose of 247 mg/dl. This is not "running a bit high". This is dangerously high!"
The Diabetic Welfare Queen replied to Ams's discussion 'advice? stories?'"Well, I've heard some stories from people on this forum that they were made to disclose how under control they were before they got any piercings of any kind, or tattoos... so I dunno... I remember back when I was 10.5%, and it was a nightmare…"
Chris replied to Ams's discussion 'advice? stories?'"I feel its little risky. I mean i feel your body's immunity would be significantly weaker because of high A1c.
But then at the same since piercing itself isn't a major surgery, may be you can do it. Only suggestion if u go ahead, take care…"
