Venlafaxine and tattooing: at what dose is it not advisable to get a tattoo?

Question

Hello! I am currently taking 150 mg of Venlafaxine XR per day. I am planning to get a tattoo in a few months. I don't know if my dosage will be the same or if I might take a higher dose. I saw two people on your site asking similar questions (with 37.5 mg and 150 mg) and they were told that it was possible to get a tattoo without any problems. I was wondering if there was a threshold that should not be exceeded. Hello! I am currently taking 150 mg of Venlafaxine XR per day. I am planning to get a tattoo in a few months.
