This is off-topic, but I think it probably fits best into beauty. I have recently been diagnosed with psoriasis on my elbow (a skin condition a bit like eczema, Kim Kardashian has it!) and it's incurable 😭 apparently you can't get tattoos if you have psoriasis, but I've gotten a tattoo before I was diagnosed.
Would it be a bad idea for me to get any more tattoos? I really want more!

I think you should be ok as long as it's not on an area where you get psoriasis

You said you were recently diagnosed. What would happen if you got a tattoo in a non-affected area now but sometime in the future you end up flaring up on your tattoo site. How would the tattoo be affected? I think thats one of the questions you need to get the answer to.

The tattoo I currently have is on my forearm, which has never been affected. I will talk to my doctor and tattoo artist to see what happens.

You should probabaly check with your doctor before considering getting it done and even check with the tattoo artist :) hope you can get it done though I'm a sucker for tattoos?
