Can getting a full arm tattoo irritate/worsen tendonitis of the elbow?

Possible: If your saying that you have tendinitis of the elbow and your considering a full arm tattoo...And should you do it? My answer would be to cool the arm down first....Maximize your treatment regimen and ensure it is fairly well controlled prior to creating an entire new set of inflammatory circumstances in your arm.

Nope: The positioning of your arm may have something to do with the tendinitis especially if you were in the same position for a sleeve. And if it took several sessions. The tattoo itself is not to blame.
