Can you take ibuprofen after a tattoo?

Question

I got another tattoo yesterday and it's super sore today. I looked it up and many sites say yes and no. I'm so confused. Is it okay to take or should I wait it out for the soreness to go away?

Answer

yes of course you can! just not before the tattoo as it's a blood thinner. (:

Answer

My tattoo artist says not to take painkillers for at least 12 hours after

Answer

Well apparently no you shouldn't take it

Answer

You should be just fine! I always popped one the minute I got home and never had a problem. The big thing is to just never take any BEFORE the tattoo.
