I just realized that when I got my eyebrow microblading tattoos done, I had a WBC of 1. The tattoo “fell” off literally and no ink was left under my skin except for a few places. The majority of the tattoo had fell off in chunks. After reading this and the macrophages that “lock” in the ink, is it because I had a WBC of 1 that there wasn’t enough macrophages to LOCK in the ink?

I have 3 tattoos and have never had an issue but our tatoo artist used sterile techniques plus he’s very very professional and most definitely takes pride in his work. My husband and I would both highly recommend Meguail his office is in Florida in Ormond which is a private suburb of Daytona. He has done all my tattoos plus all of my husband’s and we are very very pleased with his quality work.
Also I have SLE and I’ve had no issues what so ever and I especially thank you tatoo artist for his professionalism and the pride he takes in his work. Thank you Meguail for all your hard work and professionalism. We greatly appreciate you and your amazing work. We’re looking forward to coming back down for some more work done by our favorite artist and friend. Thank you for all your hard work and professionalism. Also we consider you a very good friend buddy.

As a tattoo lover I was worried about this after my Lupus diagnosis. I have gotten 2 tattoos since my doctor declared I was in remission after over a year and had no bad effects. I will say that during the process of the tattooing my Raynaud’s is extremely triggered but goes away pretty quickly. Pick an artist and shop you trust. Maybe try something small to see your body’s reaction, but don’t let your illness rule your life!
