Hello,
Im Jessica, Im mexican and im 25 years old. I started having dystonia when i turned 12, Its been a tough life cause nobody here in Mexico knew what I had, I used to have lots of spasm, and I used to bent everytime I walk so I hurt my back because of my bad position. I had also contractions in my abdomen which couldnt let me breath, i had involuntary movements in my legs and hands... I took lots of medicine like sinemet, artane, hipokinon, clonazepam, et etc etc but none of them help me.
After almost 3 years of suffering this disease one doctor decided to implant me the baclofen pump, it didnt help as much as we though it would do.
Then two years ago I had the DEEP BRAIN STIMULATOR surgery, I most say its the greatest thing someone could do to me, it helped me so much, almost all my symptoms are gone, Im able to walk, drive, work out, have a very independent life....
Now, heree is my question, does anyone know if I can make me a tattoo if I had the stimulators?
they told me that the machine they use to make the tattoo works with magents so I dunno if this may affect me since the stimulators works with voltage.

There are people with DBS that had tatoos done after the surgery. So there is a way to get it done . Not quite sure on the specifics though.
