Tattooing around stoma - Any complications?

Kezza.j · 2020-01-14T14:52:39-05:00

Has anyone on here had a tattoo done around their stoma? If so, did you have any problems?I'm having one done on 1st Feb and the only thing I'm a bit dubious about is the chances of my colostomy becoming active while the guy is doing the tatt.Fingers crossed everything will be fine.Kezza

Roses are my favorite flower and the spider. I love arachnids and this will be connected to the other spider tattoo I have on my back.

Great place for newbies to learn, I have helped many folks on here learn to irrigate, plus learned a few tricks myself. Great informative site.

Wow! That looks incredible! Really works in taking focus of the stoma bad and to the tattoo! Wish I could get more tattoos but sadly, being a transplant patient has its drawbacks.

Got a few tattoos myself but never even considered one around my stoma.

Looks really good, good for thought x x
