Psoriasis and Tattoos
Hello, I am suffering from Psoriasis since more than a decade. I am planning to opt biologicals but I wanted to know if a patient suffering from Psoriasis can have a body tattoo? Not a big one, but a small one.
Are there any risks involved if I have a tattoo? Will it flare my pso even if I will opt Biologicals? Any clarification will be helpful.
