No. This is not at all advisable, and even if you try, you will have a very hard time finding a tattoo artist who will work on you.

A tattoo is essentially an open wound. The tattoo needle punctures the skin over and over again very quickly. Your skin will be punctured, although not deeply, thousands of times during the process of getting one tattoo.

It is common and expected for anyone to bleed while getting a tattoo. The tattoo artist often has to stop the needle and then wipe away the blood before he or she can continue. If a non-hemophilic bleeds during the tattooing process, imagine how much you, as a hemophilic, will bleed. We advise everyone, very strongly, not to drink alcohol or take aspirin before having a tattoo done because of the potential for increased bleeding.

We also advise, very strongly, that hemophilics not attempt to get tattoos. There are a lot of other ways to express yourself that won't be detrimental to your health.
