I recently learned that people with Vascular EDS cannot donate blood or their organs.

So I am also wondering if it is dangerous for people with Vascular EDS to get tattoos. Or maybe there are special considerations or ways to prepare. I have always been pretty much against the idea of tattoos for me. They look great on others, but not on me. But I have recently decided that if I get my official diagnosis, I may get my first and only tattoo. But instead of "No Fear," I want it to say "DE NOVO COL3A1" and maybe the date. Anyway, comments welcome.

I also have another question. I (female) have the weirdest issue with excessive hairs. It's not that I have a beard and mustache. Actually, I just get 7 or 8 stray hairs at a time, but they're usually very stubbly, wiry and coarse. They're usually around my jawline, around my chin, and all over my neck. And many times, they are ingrown. I often have to sit there with tweezers and remove these spiky, dark black hairs. It disgusts me. And the hair on top of my head is falling out. Go figure. I don't have the symptoms for PCOS, though (other than this), nor do I have a thyroid issue. Is this an EDS thing?

Thank you!
