no problems what so ever. I just wouldn't get a tattoo over the pacemaker. Got mine touched up last week!

I have never heard of anyone having any troubles with tattoos. My problem is I would like to get one with a zipper running through it right over my pacer site and that is the one place you cannot get one. If only I had planned ahead and thought this through a little. Rick

Tim,
I really didn't have a problem when I got my tattoo on my shoulder blade, I did however feel vibrations. All went well - good luck.

I wouldn't want that because the it is like advertising. If you are going to do that, contact the company and they may pay you.

I had several tattoos since I've had my pacemaker implanted and have never had a problem. I talked with my doctor and pacemaker clinic and tattoo artist befroe hand.
