Thinking of getting a tattoo
Posted: 05-30-08 19:09pm

I was thinking of getting a small tattoo on the back of my upper thigh, but I have sensitive skin and am allergic to make up etc except certain brands; is this likely to affect my reaction to a tattoo?

You should consult with a well known tattoo artist on this. I have a few tattoos and every once in a while the outline on mine will raise up more on the one on my shoulder and chest. Also I have red in a couple of mine and those seem to be the ones that get irritated more by this raised reaction. I have not been able to figure what is causing it to do this but it's not really bothersome.
If you are allergic to any food dyes it would be best to consult with an allergist also.
