Can you get a tattoo after having heart stents put in?

You should not get any tattoo work done soon after a major surgery, or after experiencing anything that has caused trauma to your body. Your body needs time to recuperate, and does not need to have to focus on healing a tattoo (which is essentially a wound) in addition to recovering from surgery or any kind of injury.

The longer you wait to get a tattoo after your valve replacement, the better.
