having an autoimmune condition like RA may increase your risk of infection. Some RA medications also can increase that risk after your tattoo session. If you’re thinking of getting a tattoo talk to your rheumatologist before scheduling your tattoo appointment. Corticosteroids, like prednisone, can have a negative impact on wound healing. Use caution.
