I have keratosis pilaris (these red bumps usually on the back of your arms), but i want to get a tattoo there. Has anyone had any success or problems with getting a tattoo on these areas? I assume the bumps will affect healing and color. Thanks!

According to the Keratosis Pilaris site, it will take longer for the tattoo to heal and may look a little off. The best thing to do is talk to your doctor and a tattoo artist.

Usually women are the ones embarrassed by a skin condition but guys get self-conscious too. My keratosis pilaris really got to me in my late teens. I got made fun of by my so-called friends and became dptressed and withdrawn. Comments like, what's that leprosy stuff on your arms?
I can't tell you how many dates and social outings I've missed because of keratosis pilaris. I always thought just what if I didn't have this. But thanks to this program I'm almost totally clear. I'm dating now. I'm actually asking my friends to go to the beach. I'm more outgoing. Life is good.

You really need to read "Banish My Bumps" by Angela Steinberg (also available in electronic format here: http://www.banishbumps.com ). It's about how to permanently cure your Keratosis Pilaris naturally. I was able to clear my skin in only 7 days after reading this.
Stop paying paying each month good money on creams. This is exactly what the pharmaceutical industry wants you to do! They want to milk money from you each month.

It is not advisable if you have an existing skin condition as it may exacerbate it. Most tattooists have a good degree of knowledge on tattooing over skin conditions, scars etc...
