Does taking a beta blocker for high blood pressure affect how your body reacts in getting a tattoo?

[sheshe]

I am really serious about getting my first tattoo and i take medicine to treat high blood pressure, i know that taking blood thinners for high blood pressure will cause you to bleed more, so how does a beta blocker affect the bleeding? Please Help

Beta blockers are taken to regulate the rate of the heart as well as keeping you from getting high blood pressure. On bleeding, beta blockers have no known effect. The only problem that you may probably encounter is getting too excited since this is your very first tattoo. And this increased state of excitement may also increase your high blood pressure, which you are trying to control with beta blockers.

But aside from this, go ahead and get that first tattoo!

Hope this helps!
