can a warfarin user have a tattoo? and does the doseage have to be lowered - wil!
Question: i have already researched the web and found that there is conflicting medical thoughts - but the one 'fact' I can't track down is that due to slower clotting the tattoo lines will be blurred and 'wide'. So the question is in two parts can the anticoagulant difficulties of being on warfarin be managed so that there is less risk of excessive bleeding when having a tattoo and secondly is this fact/rumour that tattoos made on someone that clots slower will be of a poor quality
Answers:
You can take a dose of Vitamin K, that is the antidote for warfarin. Otherwise, yes, your tattoo might not look as nice and there is a higher chance of uncontrolled bleeding and scarring

For goodness sake, don't risk your health by not taking your warfarin just to get a tattoo! Nothing is worth that!
For goodness sake, ask your doctor for something this risky.
