Can I Have Tattoo On The Wrist With Sickle Cell Anemia?
I'm a 17 year old girl with sickle cell anemia I have had 4 strokes when I was 1 however I am on blood transfusion therapy to prevent the strokes from happening again. I want a tattoo on my wrist of my moms name who dided from sickle cell anemia too but is that going to be a problem with my medical history?
