It is possible for you to get a tattoo. There are just two things that you will need to be concerned with, but an experience tattoo artist should be willing to work with you.
After you decide on the artist, speak with him/her several days in advance to set up an appointment and discuss your allergy. The artist will need to wear gloves that are not latex and if he covers it following the inking, you will have to make sure that doesn't contain latex either. Good luck!

Most studios have nitrile gloves - we are completely latex free in our studio. If your allergy is severe, you will need to explain the extent of your exposure problems but that should about cover it.
If you have a gauze bandage applied and secured with transpore or similar tape, there should be no issues there, either.

There is no latex involved in the tattoo process. I don't see why it's a problem.
