I am really serious about getting my first tattoo and i take medicine to treat high blood pressure, i know that taking blood thinners for high blood pressure will cause you to bleed more, so how does a beta blocker affect the bleeding? Please Help

I’m not an artist or a doctor, and there aren’t that many people on here that are, so the only why you’re going to get accurate information is by talking to professionals. It won’t cost you anything to call up a tattoo shop and ask an artist any question regarding your health, medication, and how it’ll affect the tattooing process.

Talk to your doctor about this first.

Beta blockers are taken to regulate the heart rate as well as keeping you from getting high blood pressure. On bleeding, beta blockers have no known effect.
