Getting a tattoo when prone with keloid?
i'm not sure what your are quite asking, but keloids are not something people are prone to. this is a reaction that occurs sometimes from piercings and other medical procedures such as surgeries, and not always occurs. from what i am gathering, you don't have any keloids, you don't have anything to worry about.





make sure you research a well established and reputable artist, follow the aftercare recommended and you should be ok.

Just because you don't have many doctors on here and this is something that you need to take care of before you think about getting a tattoo...





I would think it wouldn't be good for you but I'm not a doctor so...





Talk to one before you go to a parlor!!!
Reply:Keloid formation. If you are prone to developing keloids -- scars that grow beyond normal boundaries -- you are at risk of keloid formation from a tattoo. Keloids may form any time you injure or traumatize your skin. Micropigmentation: State of the Art, a book written by Charles Zwerling, M.D., Annette Walker, R.N., and Norman Goldstein, M.D., states that keloids occur more frequently as a consequence of tattoo removal.
