How Safe Is To Have Tattoo On Arm When Having Rheumatoid Arthritis?

HELLO. I am 34 years old and I have had rheumatoid arthritis for over four years. I wanted to get a small tattoo on my top of my arm before I get too old. Is it safe for me. I am female and I take infusions every month and take methotrexate among other medications. thanks
