I'm currently on low dose of accutane (10mg/day) for about a month or so and I have an upcoming appointment for my tattoos. I understand that it is not recommended but i'm going on vacation and getting my tattoos done there so it's hard to reschedule. I don't have much side effects apart from chapped lips and slightly dry skin but all that has subsided after 1 month into the course. I am planning to pause my accutane treatment for a week-ish before my vacation/holiday. I'm wondering if it will have a huge impact getting tatted?

Accutane is crazy strong and really affects your skin, healing process, scarring, etc. etc. The list goes on and on. Better to be safe than sorry. You can always get tats later.

For sure, do not get any tats without talking to your doc first.
