Yes! You can have a tummy tuck with a tattoo. It will alter the graphic, but we can decide together where you would like things to end up. We can try to minimize the distortion and make it easy to touch up afterwards if possible.
Thanks for your inquiry. If your dermatographia is inot a symptom of some other more significant health problem, ie auto-immune diseases, psoriasis, etc, it should be no problem.
