... was reading about it online--seems like it might make psoriasis worse.

I have a couple small ones. No problems. But when I was a kid all skin injuries turned into psoriasis.

I have a few tattoos and found that I don't tend to get psoriasis on them at all, even when the art was new. Don't know the science behind that because if I do get a bug bite or chigger bite or random whatever then I can develop a patch of psoriasis. I have found that even if I use the wrong type of skin cream it can make my skin burn and itch. This is one crazy disorder for sure! Good juju!

Both of my arms and neck are heavily tattooed, which I never stopped doing as it covered surgery scars from elbow and neck arthritic damage. They also cover the flares I get on my arms, which makes me feel better (: I was getting tattoos since 93 and I wasnt diagnosed until 2020, so I never noticed or thought about what they may have done in contribution to my flares. I have not stopped, and I have more surgeries in the future that will leave more scars, so Im not stopping any time soon (:
