We Are Here To Clear Up The Acne Problem
with all the antibiotic and flare ups you should seen a skin specialist for sure…More reputable, inkers, would recommend you wait till all is well, before, it becomes a problem.
yes if you have acne it can lead to the tattoo to scab where the acne is and loose its color.
disregard the person telling you to knife yourself, unless youre a licensed surgeon… as for tattoos and acne… yes, it’s fine to do, as long as you don’t pop the acne… if it heals on its own, you won’t use color… however, there is a chance it could pop while getting tattooed, and that woulnd’t be so great… also, it will hurt more in acne covered areas ( i know that’s the obvious, just saying. )
tattoos cover well-I’ve got some on my left forearm that cover up a four inch long knife wound-Acne won’t affect the tattoo. On the back, the skin stretches the most anyway, so most likely after you get it, you won’t even be able to find the spots you are accustomed to seeing. None of these people even know what they’re talking about-Tattoo yourself and enjoy it until after eternity has passed Needle on
You should worry about clearing your acne before worrying about getting a tattoo.
You want to give your tattoo the best start that you can. Tattooing over acne is not a good idea. It is best to clear up the acne first before tattooing on it. Find a different spot to tattoo or wait until it clears up. Sorry i dont have a better answer for you and wish you luck. Having acne sucks!
It will hurt even more, i would just wait untill it clears up, i had to! i use to have acne on my back too, i had to wait a couple years..lol
i think that it will, or rather, it would be painful to get it if ur getting the tattoo on your back lol ♥
It’s actually a pretty complex issue with experts disagreeing left and right. The short answer to your question is that most people advise against getting a tattoo over current acne. This is because acne is a small infection under your skin, and it is important to avoid any infection in conjunction with a tattoo. The acne might make you more sensitive or reactive to tattoo ink, leaving scar tissue that will compromise your tattoo.
Many people also suggest avoiding areas where you often have acne for the same reason. If you are to break out during the healing process, again, you are at risk for an infection. In general, a pimple that appears after while the tattoo is healing will not cause damage, particularly if it is left alone and not picked.
Some people with scarring from severe acne want a tattoo in particular on acne-prone areas in order to downplay scars and pits. This is where it becomes a bit more complicated. While the rate of infection doesn’t seem to be affected by areas that used to be subject to acne, experts disagree about tattoo-ability of scarred skin.
