Of course you can get a tattoo if u have asthma, The ink has nothing to do with your immune system. I have asthma and am on many meds also and have a tattoo

Advair and Singulair are worthless for asthma, but that is not what you asked. The only problem with a tattoo is that you can not get an MRI if needed because the magnetic field will cause it to burn you.
PS. Have you tried a Combivent inhaler? It is easier to use than a nebulizer.

The asthma shouldn't interfere with your ability to get a tattoo, but the steroids and other meds you're on might. Steroids cause delayed healing, so you should probably ask your doctor if it's okay for you to get a tattoo before going ahead.

I don't see any problem with it unless you freak out during the tattoo and have an asthma attack. But other than that, no, the meds should not interfere with the ink. Call your local tattoo parlor and ask them, they'd know better than anyone else!

I think that you can but you should always talk to your Doctor before you do. There can be something in the ink that can bother your asthma.

You can likely get one I don't know what ink would have to do with the meds. But just to make sure call your doctor.

Speaking for myself, I've had asthma my whole life and I have 7 tattoos. I've never had a problem.

you may not be able to because tattoo may cause an infection and you are on steroids, this could make asthma worsen!
