Can a person with hemophilia get a tattoo ?

Can a person with hemophilia get a tattoo ? Would the bleeding be any problem ? Any experiences ?
all great answers, can someone point me to some user experiences ? or if any hemophiliac has some tattoos, speak up :p !
I have a disease that is very similar to hemophilia, in that once I start bleeding, I just can't stop. I am under the care of a Dr. and she has me on a medication that is a nasal spray that can be taken if I fall and hurt myself or whatever. I don't know if there are any medicines that hemophiliacs are on like this. So, I went to my Dr. and told her that I was going to get a tattoo. She okayed it as long as it was only done in 1 hr increments, and as long as I took my medicine right before the tattoo. She also wrote a note that I gave to the artist that gave her "permission" or whatever. They were very good at timing to make sure that it didn't go over an hour. So, even though I had to sit through a couple of sessions, it was worth it! Also, my artist said that I was bleeding less than most people, so my medicine must have kicked in. That was just my experience, so here is what I would do if I were you...
1. First and foremost, go to your blood Dr. and tell them your plan to get a tattoo. They will either give you a yay or nay.
2. Once you have confirmation that this will be okay medically, make sure that your chosen artist is okay with whatever process that you have to do to get this done.
3. Be prepared that the shop will probably have you sign an addition waiver because of your condition.
4. Also be prepared that your body will not react well and that you could have a partially done tattoo that they can't finish.

Good luck!  (+ info)

How many years til hemophilia gets less severe?

---

I am 13 and I have hemophilia, I was diagnosed at 5. How much longer til it should get less severe?
I answered your last post. Then you posted about your science teacher. They do not know. My sons science teacher told him that cats do not sleep because they will die. (not true). So, the disease did come from royalty. And yes in some way you are related to her. We also have hemophilia in our family and it is the same. It originated from a royal family. Another person answered that it was recorded before that. They were wrong also.

It is rare that your hemophilia will become less severe. Depending on if you have hemophilia A or B. My son has B and he is severe and will be the rest of his life. For our family we all have the same. It is severe.

I would not listen to what your teacher says because things like this they know nothing. You should talk to your specialist about this when you go back next time they will be able to tell you if it will become less severe. You should also be getting factor for this.  (+ info)

Im amst 21w prego. Just found out having a boy. Is there ways to test for hemophilia in baby?

---

I am a carrier of hemophilia. My son can have 50/50 chance of having it. Is there ways to test now to see if the baby has it? I had ultrasound on friday. Pretty sure having a boy.
Yes. Your doctor could perform an amniocentesis. They stick a large needle in your abdomen and into the amniotic sac and remove some of the amniotic fluid. From this they will be able to tell you whether or not your son has hemophilia. There is a small risk of complications (including miscarriage) from this test, so you have to weigh the risks and benefits before having it done.  (+ info)

Can offspring get Hemophilia A if the parents do not have it?

---

Two mothers give birth to sons at the same time in a busy hospital. The son of couple #1 is afflicted with hemophilia A. The allele that causes hemophilia A is recessive and the gene is located on the X chromosome. None of the parents have the disease. Couple #2 has a normal son despite the fact that the father has hemophilia A. The two couples sue the hospital claiming that a careless staff member switched the babies at birth. You appear in court as an expert witness. What do you tell the jury?
Well you have to look at the DNA of the parents. the reason Baby 1 could have haemophilia is because one of the parents is carrying the gene, but it has not affected the, In the same way, Baby 2's parents were affected, but it isn't dominant in the baby and so Baby 2 doesn't have haemophilia.  (+ info)

Can a woman with the hemophilia gene pass the gene to children if the husband has hemophilia?

---

A blood clotting disorder is a X-linked gene. A woman who carries the hemophilia gene marries a man who has hemophilia. Show the possibilities that their children would have hemophilia using a pun nett square
It would be most likely that half of all offspring would have hemophilia.
h is hemophiliac H is non-hemophiliac

h h
H Hh Hh
h hh hh

It won't allow for the proper square format, but if you move the top row over a bit, you'll be fine.
The offspring with the homozygous 'h' are hemophiliac, while the offspring with heterozygous genotype are carriers  (+ info)

What is the age of onset for hemophilia?

---

When does hemophilia arise in a person? I know ther are two types and happen every 1 in 5000 and 30000 births but does it arise at birth, or during the younger years?
Since hemophilia is a genetic disease, you are born with it. Therefore, you should begin to see the effects of it (difficult to stop bleeding, bleeding into joints, et cetera) at a very young age.  (+ info)

Is there any way you can have diabetes and hemophilia?

---

I know hemophilia has complications with bleeding and what not, but you need to check your blood sugar if your a diabetic. Is there any case where someone has had both, and how they overcame it?
Wow, what an interesting question. I don't know ... you'd think people like that would be untreatable. I'm going to star your question ... because it deserves it and so I won't forget to check back :o)  (+ info)

Where do you find pictures of hemophilia?

---

I'm doing a project for school and cant find that many pictures that are about different symptons on google.Does anyone know any good places to find descriptive pictures of hemophilia?
If you want to know what hemophilia looks like, just look at a stranger. They could have hemophilia. You dont know. Hemophilia looks like you or me or anyone else. There are no pictures, people do not look differently and they do not act differently.

Just like the other person stated. Do your research you will find that people with hemophilia look no differently. It is in their blood not on their body.

You assumed that people looked differently.  (+ info)
