Is it possible that getting a tattoo can be therapeutic for joint problems?

Unlikely: It is unlikely that getting a tattoo can be therapeutic for joint problems... However, pain centers that focus on chronic pain do resort to other forms of therapy that are essentially other painful stimuli that allow nerve "re-wiring" joint pain and stiffness is not a black and white field. There is a great deal of differences in how people react and deal with pain.
