allergic reaction to hair dye if you have tattoo???????

[noraa]

hi all,
i was thinking of having a nice, small tattoo on my arm.
looked and saw very nice patterns on net.
but on papers of hair colourants it says it can give allergic reaction if you have tattoo.
i searched on net and saw some horror stories.
currently i dye my hair regularly every month and dont think that i will give up hair dyeing.
should i give up the idea of having a tattoo and be on the safe side?

I've got two tattoos and have my hair dyed every three weeks.

Not dead yet

Step away from the google.

Ditto the above. I have three tattoos, dye my hair every 7 weeks and I'm fine......

Your hairdresser should do a strand test first to find out if you'll react badly.

My sister currently has bright red hair. Last week it was purple. There is a pack of blue dye, in my kitchen belonging her, that she left here (probably so she can dye my bathroom blue and not my Dads. I shout less )

She is getting her 2nd tattoo next week.

I have many tattoos in many places and have been dying my hair for many many years. No bad reactions. One of my best girlfriends is a tattoo artist (so naturally covered in tattoos) and dyes hair very regularly and never a bad reaction.

I agree with larakitten have a strand test and you will no for sure.

lotsa tattoos and lotsa hair dying here, not had any problems

thanks all

patch test, then carry on. There's warnings out there against a lot of things...
