Is it Safe to have a piercing done? I'm hoping to get one that helps with migrain and anxiety!

Hi Tracey, Im not the one to ask . im prone to blood clots. I wouldnt take a chance of getting a infection either. But thats only my thinking for me. Do some research on it.look at the pros and cons of doing it.

I'm not really sure but I am sure it depends on how your diabetes has been managed. In other words, how far has it progressed. If you are on insulin and are getting ulcers on your legs and feet, I would say it is not a good idea. I would like to get a tattoo too so, let me know what your doctor says.
