Does having a keloid problem affect getting tattooed???

i have a keloid problem.. whenever my skin is broken it heals thrice as fast when compared to a normal person. but my skin continues to heal long after the healing is done.. the result is that i tend to get a small or large bump depending on the size of the skin breakage or cut over the area which is nothing but skin cells.. benign lump.. If i get tattooed, will the area of the tattoo become the same???

Hi


I am a tattoo artist and most keloids that we see are from piercings. A very common thing that can be takin care of with a crushed up asprin and some spring water. You make a paste with it and just rub it into the keloid.





As for the fact that you may get them, well that all depends, maybe you will have better luck if you use a tattoo healing balm like ink fixx, tattoo goo, ect. But if you always get these keloids when you get cuts then theres a good chance you will get them when being tattooed. Best thing is to talk to the person you are getting tattooed by.

Reply:A friend had a similar problem. He was considering a tattoo, and was in the parlor when the artist noticed his scars. The guy told my friend that it was very likely that he would have the same problem with a tattoo that he does with other scars.
Reply:i have the same problem but i had a tattoo done last summer and its fine. no problems at all. just make sure you get a GOOD and CLEAN tattooist.
