Injecting through a tat?

This is probably a dumb question, but I just want to make sure. I want to inject in my deltoids. If I have tattoos, does it matter if I inject through them. I will probably be injecting 1-2 times a week, alternating shoulders. Thanks for the info.

you are fine to inject through a tat but you rotate your injection sites include biceps thighs gluts and delts .

No probs here either. Actually my wife used my tat as a reference point for injecting the medial head of the delt.

Thats awesome wish my wife was a s cool. I was always worried i'd ruin my 600 dollar work of art but after I had it for a while i didnt care as much and it didnt ruin the tat at all.

Haha, I believe they should be getting stronger....lol

Well, the only reason why medical personelle do not inject through a tatoo is out of courtesy. It could (very rare) cause scar tissue and cause a blotch in your tatoo. There isn't any other sontraindication besides that.

Just trying to be nice! but the chances of ruining your tatoo is very slim unless you use worn down pins (always use new pins!! they aren't that expensive!!) or improper injection techniques.

I only say that about worn down pins because I knew a buddy who would use his 22g pins until they started causing bruises becaus they were so dull.....not very smart...
