"This is the most important, and by far the most dangerous reason to not take any blood thinners before getting a new tattoo.

Although very small tattoos shouldn’t cause too much of a problem, if you’ve got an all-day tattooing session booked in, then the potentially large amount of blood that you could loose throughout the day could cause many dangerous side effect that are associated with blood loss."

It also talked about infection being higher. Basically everything that could go wrong with a tatt is higher especially on a big piece like this.

I read your post yesterday: I agree with you. So why is my pdoc lowering my Seroquel? Im still wanting sex with everyone. Im still running around spening money- well TRYing not to but its hard! The only teason I havent slept with this guy is because opportunity hasnt presented itself. I take all that energy out onanother man whom Ive been having sex with for 13 years. I guess pdoc doesnt see it because she thinks this is my normal personality? I dont know.
It is odd that your pdoc is lowering your Seroquel. My pdocs have tended to up it during manic phases or try a different AP. Can you call your pdoc and explain that you are having lots of hypomanic symptoms and desires to make impulsive serious decisions? I do hope if you are having a lot of sex, at least you are being safe. Not just the pill because it doesn't stop STIs so condoms too. You need to be safe about it, just a side note. Does your pdoc have an emergency (non-911) number to call during weekends and vacations? Mine has a special cellphone for this; you can call it at all hours but not for things that are not important and can wait until business hours (though he will call you back during business hours if you leave a message that you want to talk directly to him). Or can you get an appointment to see your pdoc ASAP if you call tomorrow morning?
