Expert answer:
Anyone who has epilepsy can get a tattoo as long as it is authorized by the doctor. Epilepsy is a problem caused by changes in the electrical impulses of the brain that lead to the onset of seizures. Some seizures may arise due to light, auditory, moving, tactile and painful stimuli. In the case of tattooing, the technique that uses needles to perform it could be a risk factor for triggering seizures.
However, if treatment for epilepsy is appropriate, with controlled seizures, it is likely that the neurologist will authorize the tattooing.
