Can I Get Tattooed If I Have a Birthmark in the Area?

Answered by Sude ErdemTattoo artist in Los Angeles

Usually, yes, but I do not automatically tattoo directly over every birthmark. Some birthmarks can change over time or may need to remain visible for medical monitoring, so the safest approach depends on the type of mark.

Send me a clear photo of the area first. If there is any uncertainty about whether it is safe to tattoo over, I will recommend having it checked by a dermatologist before we work on it.
