Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

First of all, I would like to reassure you that doing a tattoo would not cause seizures or increase the risk of seizures.

So, you can safely go ahead with tattoo.

I can not understand a specific reason regarding the need for that question on the form.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
