Can I Get Tattooed If I Have an Insect Bite in the Area?

Answered by Sude ErdemTattoo artist in Los Angeles

If the bite is swollen, irritated, scratched open, or still actively healing, I would avoid tattooing directly over it.

If it is very small, we may be able to work around it depending on the design. Send me a clear photo before the appointment and I can tell you whether it will affect the session.
