What ramifications are there to getting a tattoo while taking plavix,I have been on plavix every day for ten years following a plavix coated stent placed in my heart.I do bleed but not like most people starting on it.I don't have uncontrollable bleeding if i cut myself or get a bad scratch while hunting.I often cut myself shaving and really it's not a big deal.I have read where sometimes the ink will run under the skin so I was going to do a very small test tattoo in among the other 52 I have to see what happens.Is the bleeding and bruising the only thing I have to worry about?
