| It's the standard spiel; I think nurses and doctors have a list hidden in their pockets of things they must warn a diabetic NOT to do lol. Healing time and increased risk of infection is what I've been told by my doctor. And let's face it, they're only doing their job in warning you.
I did get a tattoo when I was 19 (in spite of my dr's objections-I've been diabetic since 11) and had no problem with healing time or infections, or any great variations in BG levels. I wouldn't do it if BG's were out of control but if you're relatively healthy you shouldn't have a problem.
Good luck!
