woodymcfc Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Hi, we have our medicals on Thursday, I have several tattoos from about 10 years ago. I am thinking of adding to them but it will be after the medical and most probably before we move, will this be ok ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cazz Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Hi, When you have your medical they do blood tests if you have tatoos for HIV & hep B ( I think, the memory isn't what it used to be! ) so you should be ok , I don't think they count them!

motherof2 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I got my first one done after we got our visa granted - mid life crisis. Thinking about getting another before we go in the summer though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallyho! Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Hi Wouldn't have thought it would be a problem - me and OH both have tattoos and had to have the blood tests that Cazz explains. I am very tempted to add to mine before we leave!! :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JK2510 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 My OH has tatoos. He asked the nurse on the day of the medicals if he needed the test but they said no just the usual blood test-no added extras! Lol I think perhaps each clinic may have their own policies.

Que Sera Sera Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 My OH has loads of Tattoo's. The Doctor just counted them. I have not seen anything anywhere to indicate that you cannot have more tattoos or body piercings etc. There certainly isnt anyone at customs counting them:biglaugh: My OH didnt need anymore blood tests than the rest of us :wubclub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi we had to pay extra for having tattoos, and by rights u shouldnt have any more done once u have had the blood test done. the blood test u have are for hepattis and u can get hep B through having tattoos done. But saying that I did have mine recoloured b4 I came out, its a chance u will have to take :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boganbear Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Can some of you learn to spell tattoos properly. There is no 's to make it plural. You just add an s. It's become one of my pet hates as I am sure that no-one has been taught to add 's so why do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really do apologise for my misuse of English grammar, it really has never been one of my stronger points !!!!! I shall write TATTOOS out 100 times as soon as I get the chance ... Lets hope my tattooist doesn't have the same problem !!! Just re-read my initial post and i've got it spelt correctly, must have been a silly mistake !!!

J&T Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Hope I don't have to pay extra for a blood text for my tattoo as I had to have compulsary HIV and hep B testing when I started my midwifery course last year! Tracey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest john76 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Hello, I have 2 tatts on my left arm ( 1 is 10 years old and the other 15 years old) and i have a full sleeve on my right arm (done last year), when we went for meds as others have said the doc just counted them and made a note of them, I asked about extra blood tets and he imformed me no extra meds required he did ask who done them and how long ago, as long as you have been to a properly qualified artist there would be no problem, doct did mention if he came across any "home made/ indian ink " tatts he would be more likely to insist on the extra blood tests.

Guest Gothic Rose Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Hi I'm very extensively Tattooed perhaps as much as a third of my body. I rang the clinic where I intend to have my medical the other day concerning a general enquiry. & whilst on the phone I mentioned That I'm Tattooed & asked would I have to pay the extra £50 for the hep B test. The receptionist said it was at the Doctors discretion so dont know if that helps you or not. Tattooists in this country are well regulated & the risk of Hep B is very unlikely. I think it wrong to penalise Tattooed people in this way, most of us are scrupulously careful about Tattooing or being Tattooed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
