Hey,
I got a tattoo five years after being diagnosed. Really the only thing you need to be concerned about, along with everything the tattoo guys will tell you, is keeping it clean. As a Diabetic, I have noticed I heal slower than I used to. This comes into effect when you get a tat because you don't want it to get infected afterward.
But as long as you do what the artist tells you, you should be fine. And yeah, reputable shops that are clean and have been around a while are best.
