no problems what so ever. I just wouldn't get a tattoo over the pacemaker. Got mine touched up last week!

I have never heard of anyone having any troubles with tattoos. My problem is I would like to get one with a zipper running through it right over my pacer site and that is the one place you cannot get one. If only I had planned ahead and thought this through a little. Rick

Tim,
I really didn't have a problem when I got my tattoo on my shoulder blade, I did however feel vibrations. All went well - good luck.

I wouldn't want that because the it is like advertising. If you are going to do that, contact the company and they may pay you.

I had several tattoos since I've had my pacemaker implanted and have never had a problem. I talked with my doctor and pacemaker clinic and tattoo artist befroe hand.

The pacer systems are really very reliable. The main problem is the incompetent programming of them. If yours is working well for you, get on with life and enjoy it. You probably are more at risk of problems with a valve job than the pacer.
