Has anyone gotten a tattoo while on IP I know they say dont let your sugars get to low I am getting my first tattoo on Sat any suggestions would be great thank you

I haven't gotten tattooed while on IP but I would try and eat before. I nearly passed out getting tattooed without eating.

I don't see how one has to do with the other. Eat your lunch, breakfast before you go, just like you would do in a reg scenario. Don't drink is a given and have fun!!

I just got another tattoo on Saturday and I've been on IP for the last 3 months. I felt the same the day after as I did 5 months ago when I got my last one. I was a little lethargic the next day but that's pretty much expected. It's minor-ish trauma, right?

I don't think getting the tattoo is a problem but I see you plan on losing a bit more weight and I wonder if it would be wise to wait and give your skin a chance to catch up with your weight loss. Otherwise when you get to goal and start to tone up your tattoo might look a little wonky

I was told not to get one while in ketosis. Something about ketosis messes with some of the colors. I'm not 100% positive, but my tattoo guy said it would be better to wait until I'm out of ketosis to get my next one.

Interesting. I know that when I get tattooing done, I tend to get a lot of adrenaline released and I can imagine that might be "hard to handle" when on a restricted calorie diet. I will say that I went to an amusement park this weekend and found I felt really jittery after each "thrill" ride - and that it took a good 3-5 minutes to work that out of my system. That normally doesn't happen.

Never thought of that! Plan on getting one in June... might just eat 2 egg whites before I go!

One reason I was afraid to go to Disney without phasing off.... between the rides and the walking I alreayd get shaky from things as it is!

I think just following the protocol for increasing your packets would be good.
