I am having it on my chest and my skin isn't really dry Any recommandations? Thanks Ever had a tattoo before? How big is the one you're thinking of getting? I don't think I would do it... A tattoo is a wound, and the healing may get all fucked up... And I think you can get infections more easily on tane...You may even get an allergic reaction to the coulour... I don't think it's dangerous, but you wouldn't want the tattoo to look bad because of some accutane effect.... But I may be wrong... Call your derm ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beentheredonethat 6 Posted October 25, 2005 Don't do it. Your healing response is reduced on Accutane and you are likely to scar badly. Wait until you have been off Accutane for six months. A tattoo is forever, wait a little longer to ensure it turns out the way you wanted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
