Think telling diabetics not to get tattoos is the standard spiel due to infections and/or inflammations. However, anyone with a tattoo is not elgible to have a MRI done either and with the
high amount of usage of medical services that diabetics have, this might also have been a consideration. I believe it is due to the lead in the inks used for tattoos causing an interference with the MRI.
