i think it really depends on how bad it is, if its so bad it cant be kept under control i'd say don't do it, I've had eczema since i was a baby and its been bad for months then fine for months its usually easy enough to prevent flare ups by finding triggers and avoiding them.I currently have four and can honestly say eczema affects them, only one is in an area not prone to flare ups and that's undoubtably my best. i have both wrists tattooed and its been hell getting them to heal with my eczema they're still not healed and its been 4 months.I think you can get tattoos with ecsema but you'd be better off getting them in awkward places like your back or stomach.You'll need to look after them longer and be more careful and be prepared for fading if you use a steroid cream.Hope i helped!!

Had really bad eczema as a kid, but have had only a few very mild brief flareups as an adult as I learned ways to care for my skin and avoid things that triggered it. I am now middle aged and fighting cancer. Oncologist insisted I had to get tattooed to mark areas for radiation treatment. The skin around each tattoo reacted first by painful swelling, and then by the next day with very itchy eczema. Oncologist insists he has never had another patient whose skin reacted like this. So tattoos can indeed cause eczema in people whose skin is very prone to it.
