I am taking Eliquis and I want to get a tattoo. Is it contraindicated? Can I stop taking Eliquis a few days before?

It is generally not recommended to stop taking Eliquis before getting a tattoo unless advised by a doctor. Stopping the medication can increase the risk of blood clots and other complications. It is best to consult with your healthcare provider to determine the safest approach for getting a tattoo while taking Eliquis.
