Wow, it was really hard to find information on this. Based on what I have learned from visiting roughly a dozen websites, I don't think you should get a tattoo. According to the American Osteopathic College of Dermatology, "Micropigmentation (tattooing) is rarely recommended. It works best for the lip area, particularly in people with dark skin; however, it is difficult to perfectly match the skin, and tends to look worse over time." Instead they recommend using self tanners. "Sunless tanning preparations may be used to darken the vitiligo a more acceptable color. These will cover small areas of vitiligo well." One other thing to consider is this: some people with vitiligo experience pigmentation loss after a cut or scratch to an area. So, I don't know that it's a good idea to purposefully have needles applied to the skin.
But that's just my opninion. It's something to think about, anyway. God luck with whatever you decide.

thanks for the reply.but i guess i was misunderstood.i didn mean gettin a skin matching procedure wth a tattoo artist rather i meant a proper tattoo procedure with not a skin coloured ink but with something else probably a black which is strong enough to hide the spot.i hope i dont sound foolish here.but the tattoo artist told me sum doctors recommended the same...

In that case, I see nothing wrong with having a tatto done over the spots. It seems a little extreme to me when there is another option available but if you want one, I say go for it.

hey I have that too and I was wondering if you had gotten the tatoo done cause I have been peeking around on here too and I have it on my ankle and was wanting to hide it cause I m self consious of it so w/b and tell me if you had it done
thanks, carla
