Tattoos and psoriasis: here's what to watch out for

Tattoos and psoriasis

As the saying quotes, "Years go by and trends change". Today the art of tattooing is widespread in the vast majority of social layers. It does not matter what "status" you have or in which you move to find people who have one or more tattoos spread over your body. The boom that tattoos have experienced is already a reality in most of the world. Now, with this expansion of this beloved body art, we find health-related problems.

Many people suffer from psoriasis, an inflammatory skin disease that occasionally affects the joints as well, causing redness, scaling, pain, and swelling. Is it safe to get a tattoo while having psoriasis? I am sure that more than one person who suffers from this disease will have asked it on occasion.

Tattoos and psoriasis

What should I watch out for when getting a tattoo if I have psoriasis? The first thing to keep in mind is that if you decide to get a tattoo in an area of ​​your body where you have never had a psoriasis outbreak, you may experience it as a short-term reaction to the ink and the tattoo making process. Due to this fact, there are many people who recommend not tattooing if you suffer from this disease. Furthermore, in some countries, as far as I have been able to consult, it has been prohibited by law for tattoo studios to tattoo people with active eczema or psoriasis.

A priori, and after reading the previous paragraphs, we can think that a person with psoriasis should not get any type of tattoo. Now, most professionals recommend going to a dermatologist to consult the possibility of getting a tattoo if you suffer from psoriasis or any other skin condition. As they say in these cases, each body is a world.
