Laser tattoo removal causes lymphoma?

Asked By:kt1993 in Toms River, NJ

I'm looking into getting laser tattoo removal. I'm currently 24 years old but was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at the age of 3. I take Enbrel once a week. I know that having RA increases my risk of lymphomas. After reading that laser tattoo removal breaks up the ink and it is then removed by the lymphatic system I was wondering if that would somehow make it more possible for a lymphoma to occur? Could it aggravate the system and bring it about?
