I disagree with this simply because the implant, if placed properly, is sitting exactly at this depth. A tattoo needle will surely impact it if you attempt to place ink overtop of the chip.
That’s not accurate I’m afraid… the bioglass implant itself did not withstand 500N of force. The key here is that the tissue (or silicone) around it actually provided the force buffer for which the bioglass to “sink” into and be protected by. The bioglass itself will shatter if struck by a tattoo needle through the dermis.
Many people have gotten tattoos after getting their implants, but their tattoos go around the implant. It was clearly marked before the tattooing process began, and the artist avoided hitting the marked area.
If you want to get tattoos that cover the area in which you want to get an implant, you definitely should wait to get implants until after your tattoos have healed and you like the way they look (no touch ups).
Do not tattoo overtop of any of our implant products.
