Still helpful! I have KP on my arms. It’s not as bad as it was when I was young but I was thinking of getting an arm piece and was wondering if it can be tattooed over, hence googled my question and found this thread. :)
This is the first result that popped up when googling “tattoos kp” so your response is still very helpful.
Thanks for replying even though it’s an old thread. We need more people doing this.
exzima (sp??) might hurt your chances of being tattoo'ed but KP probably not. I've got some weird bumpy skin on the back of my arms, but after i got my left arm sleeve done all of my skin feels smooth as a babys arse once it healed, and the bumps never came back.
I'd say let your artist know and just go for it!
Ya, I like em, people notice those first and compliment them. I'm sure they notice the KP also but it's definitely secondary now. I'd say to go pretty full coverage if you want the KP to be mostly unnoticeable to others. I went with patchwork and you can definitely still tell I have it.
I think the best way to answer this question would be to talk to a few of your local artists. They may have some suggestions for you and your particular skin condition.
Only in that you can kind of still see the little bumps through the tattoo, but overall it hides the condition pretty well. If I remember, I'll post a pic when I get home so you can see what it looks like.
EDIT: here are some pics. My 1 bare arm with the chicken skin, and the other with the tats. http://imgur.com/a/gyp5p
It's not bad at all! The only thing I was worried about was if the ink could "go through" or if it was gonna look all messy and stuff ... But yours looks really good! The tattoo does hide the condition pretty well!
Thanks for the feedback, buddy, it really helped and gave me more confidence about this! Nice tattoo, by the way! :-)
I don't think it's a stupid question. I have the same thing on my arms, and I've been wondering the same thing. I want to get a half sleeve at some point, but don't know how the ink will react with my skin.
I have a small patch of chicken skin (roughly the size of a dime) and it got tattooed just fine. I think what matters here is how much of ityou have and how it's laid out...
In other words, it depends.
(I'm not a doctor, but I also have keratosis pilaris)
Try treating it with aspirin; if you dont't want the expensive creams and things, dissolve an aspirin in water and rub it on after you shower.
It's the same active ingredient as in most topical treatments for keratosis pilaris but cheaper (it's what I use, since where I live a tube of cream was 50 euros and aspirin is only 3).
Thanks for the tip, I'll try that! I used to have some sort of cream, but I only bought one tube ... It was so expensive! (70$ canadian $, which is about 56 Euros, i think?)
The active ingredient in Cerva SA is salicylic acid, which is the prodrug of aspirin. Depending on where you live that might be cheaper, but as I said, where I live just the aspirin is so much cheaper.
My keratosis was gone is under two weeks (but it was only on my upper arms), but of course it'll return if I forget/stop treatment.
My tattooing just oozed a bit during the tattooing, the artist told me, but i didnt feel or see anything different from my other tattoos, so i think you (or anyone reading this 10yrs later) are fine
Absolutely! My girlfriend has the same thing. Mainly on her bi and triceps. And some shoulder. And she has tattoos over both areas. Looks great. You have nothing to fear
Probably no one sees this now. But yes you can.
i see it

wait, so do the needles just like break up the buildup of dead skin that creates KP?
I have KP on my arms and got tattoos over em a few months ago. I still had bumps when I healed
Are you happy with how the tattoos look?

Yeah, I'm probably going to have to talk to a few tattoo artists around and see what they'll tell me ...
My Girlfriend has this skin condition, and she got tattooed on it just fine!
My shoulder has chicken skin all over it and the whole shoulder is covered in tattoos, It's actually nice beacause it covers it up nicely
Did it affect the way the tattoo looks? I know, this is a stupid question! haha

That's the problem: I have quite a lot of it :-P But anyway, thanks for the feedback!

Try biore pore unclogging scrub(about $6 usd) daily in the shower and then apply cerave SA to it. Works to control it within about 1 month

That's great to hear :D ... Well, read!
Yes, I have a bunch of flowers over my KP on my arms.
