Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, it is not at all safe.
Tattoos are very risky in terms of skin infection. There is high chance of contamination of skin infections by tattoo needles and tattoo artists.
So better to avoid tattooing especially with the history of severe cellulitis and calm sepsis.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
