Great question! I don't know the answer to that, though I have wondered myself. Have you talked to your Dermo about it? And top that with another question, do you value their answer? I would hate to get some great ink, just to have it go PN, all those entries into the skin.

I know colors are more likely to have a reaction have 2 but they were done before I start taking the meds. There is no industry standards in the US for what can go into the ink and even the same company can vary from batch to batch

Hi I just got 2 tattoos and have never had an issue with them! I only do black ink as fear of adding color may cause an allergic reaction.

I have multiple tattoos but I try to get them in places where I do not normally get PN flare ups. I had a few previously to having this condition and unfortunately some of my flare ups have ruined the colors or outline of the tattoo. Below is a picture of one my PN kind of messed up.
