tattoos

OK this is probably a totally dumb question, but, here it is...is there any problem getting a tattoo when you have a pacemaker? For example is there any kind of electrical current or interference involved in the whole thing. I've never gotten one before so I don't know anything about it and I'm going in the next couple of weeks to get my first. Just wanted to make sure I'm not going to set something off or anything! Thanks!!

I was told by my Dr. I would need to take antibiotics before getting a tatoo. So not to get infected. Has nobody else been told this?

I have had my pacer since 2005. At first it ruled my life. It took some time to calm down and make the mental adjustment. I had trouble sleeping and I worried a lot about pulling wires. Now I just live my life as I wish.
