I was just wondering if anyone has had semi permanent eyebrows tattooed and had seizures or been ok after it? I have fully controlled juvenile myclonic jerk epilepsy and on Lamotrigine. xx

I also have juvenile myoclonic & am on lamictal. When i got my hand tattoos, in certain spots like between the fingers my hands started to shake (i guess because it was hitting a certain nerve) if that starts to happen just let the tattoo artist know that you need to take a short break & try to calm your body down with some deep breathing

you can do almost all piercing's and all tattoos. the only piercing's that is a no no is your mouth and tough. use a save word so if you are inking and have spaceout seizures (aura or some sorta tell) then the artist will stop. also get a buddy so is you are unable to speak... your friend will speak up.
