Psoriasis is an immune system disorder that has no cure, but can be treated with topical creams, injections and pills. Some people with psoriasis develop new lesions when their skin gets cut (shaving etc.). Since tattoos break the skin it is possible for someone who has psoriasis to develop lesions on or around their tattoo. Each person is different and they need to use their own judgement. If you have psoriasis you can get a tattoo, but be prepared for the outcome. Your tattoo could stay clear until the day you die or it could get covered by psoriasis.

∙ 14y agoI have psoriasis and had tattoos done before i got it....but as i want more tats i have asked about it and any reputable tattooist WON'T tattoo someone with psoriasis at all!! as far as i can tell there is not a medical reason for this but.....
being an inquisative person i NEED to know why and the reason it that psoriasis is caused by the skin cells replacing too quickly and if you damage your skin (with a tattoo for instance) the skin cells will be more likely build up on that spot, the tattooist will have wasted time and you money as the design will probably be ruined and if the psoriasis clears you may be left with scarring!
Sad but true!! x
