Tattoos

My husband suffers really bad with psoriasis on his scalp, elbows, knees - recently we've noticed it's spreading into his forearm tattoos? I would like to know, do or could having tattoos contribute to flare ups?

Re: Tattoos

Thank you. Tattoos generally do not cover psoriasis. But psoriasis may come where tattoos are done.

I hope this is helpful.
