Anyone had any tattoos with a mended VSD or similar? I had the op about 26 years ago and it’s fully healed. NHS always advises people with congenital heart disease to avoid them but I can’t see why my risk is much higher…? I’m aware of how bad endocarditis is but my understanding is that the risk is tiny, like way below 1%. Is that true? Keen to hear peoples experiences
