Depends on how severe your response is. I would ....
1) Get your dermatologist's opinion first, and follow any recommendation he/she has.
2) If your dermatologist says you're good to go, try to find a tattooist who has worked with other dermatographic clients.
3) Get your tattooist to do a little "test" tattoo on a hidden area of your body. Let this tattoo heal completely (1-3 months) before deciding whether you want to proceed with your original design.
Good luck!

Interestingly enough, we had a guy with this that wanted a back piece really badly. He showed us what his skin did when he ran his nail along it. It didn't happen right away, but in very short order we saw how it started to raise up.
Anyway, we did a test area without ink on his back and the response was normal. So Stephen started the tattoo and ended up with a full back piece in three sittings with no ill effects whatsoever.
It bears mentioning that Stephen has an extremely light touch.

wow i seriously dont think that that would work. if you swell up too much then the tattoo artist will stop and you will only have a half done tattoo.

<>I would be very leery of getting a tattoo with your condition. Please consult a dermatologist first (you should be talking with one anyway).
