Tattoo FAQ
Do antibiotics affect the healing of tattoos and piercings?
Yes, taking antibiotics can influence wound healing. In addition to the increased risk of infection, the effect of antibiotics can also have an impact on the healing of wounds. As a fresh tattoo or a new piercing is always an open wound, this aspect is particularly important for both tattooing and piercing.
It is advisable to inform the tattoo artist or piercer if you are taking antibiotics in order to receive special care instructions and recommendations.
