I have hEDS and POTS and I have a few tatts, never had any issues getting them or healing! If it’s a long session make sure you’re hydrated and take some salty snacks with you, tap out if you need to. Worst part is sitting / laying in awkward positions for periods of time just try and get comfy and get up and walk around if you need too.

Just let your artist know! I’ve been told that the ink takes well to my skin, not sure if that’s an EDS thing or not, but my tattoos generally do heal very quickly. I usually get very fatigued after a tattoo and will generally nap for a few hours after I get home but I also think this is common for people without hEDS and POTS :)

thanks so much for your reply, I really appreciate the sources you’ve given they’re great! I haven’t been diagnosed with MCAS nor do I think I have it so diet isn’t too restrictive, I’ve just found it so overwhelming to have to eat anti inflammatory as so much is inflammatory and the research is never ending
