What to do if i am thinking about getting a tattoo but i also have eczema, is that a good idea?

Maybe not: Depending what kind of eczema, location, response to treatment, etc. The idea is that you start with very sensitive skin that might not tolerate a chemical treatment. Would suggest a trial with a temporary, small tattoo in an area not affected by eczema and not exposed and only in case you desperately want a tattoo. Otherwise, do not do it.
