Can I Get A Tattoo On My Forearm While Suffering From Dermographism?
Hi I suffer with dermographism . My condition is not to bad. When I take a pen or my nails and write something on my skin it swells up and gets red and it dose itch but, not too much. My question is can I get a tattoo on my forearm if I suffer from this condition? I plan on getting a big rose flower on my forarm. But, I’m scared that something could go wrong because of my skin problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
My personal opinion for tattooing in your case, having dermographism is a big NO. I think, you may get severe attack of dermographism while tattooing.
And the after effects of tattooing may be secondary infection, granuloma, hypertrophic scar or keloid. So, I am against of having tattooing in sensitive skinned people.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
