Sick Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Hey. I have a few small moles - very very small, not raised at all, more like someone dotted my skin with red ink - on my biceps and triceps and I plan to have a tattoo there...should I find a new spot? Also, i had a tattoo about 3 months ago and after it i felt like a small bumb on it, I thought was like an alergic reaction -cream it and it didn't go away. On further inspection is a little mole. Should I get this checked? I am kind of paranoid and never though about moles and tattoo because I don't see myself as a person with lots of moles but if you look closely there are some there...I want a tattoo not to die so. Advice? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margarita Yaschenko Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Hello. Moles is better to bypass. Especially if you are not so many moles and they are small the tattoo artist can pick a figure that would not have affected the mole.

bongsau Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Agree, it's better to not tattoo on the moles. At least then you can monitor your health by making sure the moles aren't growing or changing colour. I've got a big tattoo where a major part of the outline breaks to bypass the mole. Other tattoos where there is a water bubble or someother detail around the mole. On the flipside I got a tattoo on my neck where we just ran it over NFG and now I got a mini black skin tag. meh You aren't going to die, relax and enjoy :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PinkUnicorn Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I was also recommended by a dermatologist (who I saw for something else) not to get a tattoo over any moles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CShaw Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 We just went around mine, leaving a little ring of un-tattooed skin around so that I or my dermatologist can see any changes in the moles' borders. I've got too much skin cancer in my family to risk not being able to see an abnormality. (If they're flat and look like little pinpricks of red ink, they may not be moles, but tiny capillary growths called cherry hemangiomas. I've got tons of those.)

ascendabove Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I actually went right over a raised mole i had on my back with black on my full back piece. :O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heathenist Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Ugh, I guess this means I need to see a dermatologist about having some moles removed. I have quite a few on my back, arms, chest, etc. Can't just tattoo around all of them. And I definitely have some that have been tattooed over already.

I've had some experienced artists go over them and they look fine. I had one artist that pissed and moaned about my moles and went around a couple.

Paulus Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I have a few small moles that could easily be navigated around for the most part. There is on on my collar bone just right of centre. it has grown and itches and forms a fine flaky crust occasionally. I showed it to my doctor a year ago and said it was nothing to worry about. I showed it to him again 2 weeks ago and its still nothing to worry about although it's bigger. Apparently it's actually a keratosis, a sign of aging! No more chance of becoming malignant than any other bit of skin. It is an area I envisage getting tattooed eventually so I may look at getting it removed anyway. Who nows how big it will get if left alone! Sent from my MediaPad T1 8.0 Pro using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colored Guy Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Most of my moles are age spots and sun exposure, one of the many prizes in life for making it to age 60. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
