I have nf1 can i get a tattoo or are there risk involved?

Go for it: It won't affect your neurofibromatosis. Be VERY sure your tattoo is EXACTLY what you want, and wait for maybe five years, if it's still what you want, go for it. No tattoos until you're over 30 is another good rule, unless they're your parents or someone who's passed on, and keep them small. Best wishes.
