Can A Tattoo Be Done On The Morphea Patches Without Any Bad Reactions?
I have been diagnosed with morphea for a few years now. I already have 2 tattoos, and did not have any bad reactions. They are not close to any of my patches. Would it be okay to get a tattoo over a morphea patch, or could it possibly have a bad reaction?

hello,
Since you had morphoea for a very long time, I assume that it has gone in silent phase (stage of sclerosis). As far as morphoea is concerned, there is no reaction expected for tattoo making.
however, reaction with tattoo making which are seen in normal individuals like foreign body reaction, allergic reaction , infections are expected in you also
Thanks
