My eczema is not really bad it only shows when i have no lotion or when i get out the shower because if u look at me you cant tell i have it
2006-12-12 01:44:52 · update #1
I have a mild case of it on my arms and I got a tattoo about 3 weeks ago. Nothing is wrong with it so far,I cant tell u if it hurts more than usual because it was my first tattoo,it gets dry easyly but thats the how it is with eczema so keep lotion handy.Other than that all I have to say is make sure u find a good artist who knows what hes doing,mine had no problem tattooing over it but some might,so just ask them. I hope all turns out well:)

I have it too (eczema),and unfortuntley I have a tattoo over a spot that is affected by my eczema.Let me tell you the concequeces.For starters the pain,it was very painfull to get a tattoo over it.It wasn't even broken out and it was still painful-it was the only painfull tattoo ive ever gotton and I have lots and in much more sensitve areas.(This tattoo is on my arm)
Also,ink loss,after getting the tattoo I had a break out several weeks later and with the imflamation,I lost ALOT of ink and also got a minor infection.The wost part,my breakouts are worse and last longer and the medication I use (Batroban) has faded the ink.Please,even if you really want your tattoo in this spot,don't do it,it is not worth it.When you sign your concent sheet for your tattoo you answer questions about any health problems that might effect your tattoo,if you answer no and then have problems with the tattoo later they can't and won't help you out,they will just tell you to see your doctor.And if you are broken out when you go to get it done the artist won't do it.I hope I helped.

i have two on the inner part of my wrist. one was done with needle and thread the other an electric toothbrush and a 6 volt battery. the one with the needle didn't hurt at all, the one with the tooth brush felt like needles and razors! but didn't hurt that bad. but i was also pissed off! if you'r scared the more you think about being scared and it being painfull the worse it will hurt! it's like a phycology thing! most of it's in your head! i'm not afraid of needles or anything like that though it's just mostly how you handle pain and how you choose to look at it! you wont be able to get a straight answer from anyone because every ones tolorence is diffrent. you won't know for sure until you get it done! and im pretty sure that a tat gun will hurt less than the way i did it! iv'e had people at the tat place tell me that. and if you start freakin out they can always stop and what for you to get it back togather or do the outline first then the rest. just do'nt look at the needles and for the most part you should b fine because that sounds like what more than half the problem is and you can't get a tat with out the needles! put it in your head that your gonna be fine, there trained to do that stuff! and don't got buzzed i went to get one on my neck while i was high and the place looked like an operating room to me and i had a panic attack from it, so thats not a good idea! dont get it on an impules either i did that now i regrat it and getting it taking off is gonna hurt way more than the tat did!

Make sure that the area you're getting tattooed isn't angry when you get it done! Tattoos work best on healthy skin.
After you get it done, just be sure to use lots of unscented lotion on the tattoo (and everything else, while you're at it). If you do get a patch of eczema on your tattoo, it shouldn't be a problem (my fiancee has tattoos that have survived psoriasis, which is way worse).
Good luck!

The consequences to getting a tattoo over an area that has eczma... is a shitty tattoo! It is dangerous to use steroids on fresh wounds too so... DON'T DO IT! Maybe consider branding or piercing instead?
Sorry. Any reputable artist would refuse to do you considering.

Eczema patients can avoid scratchy fibers for softer ones like bamboo, cotton, or silk, which are gentler on the skin. Opting to buy organic fibers can also be a wise, healthy, and eco-friendly alternative. Learn here https://tr.im/pRvru

Oooooh... Be prepared to be tortured. Lotion up and face the consequences bravely becuase you'll be very itchy on and around that area. Maybe even for a couple of monthes. Cool packs soothe the itch and hydrocortisone after it's healed up- and of course, you probably already know, it's essential for ecxema--- lotion!
