A curious follower DM'd me, wondering if anyone else had experienced histamine intolerance symptoms after getting a tattoo.

This was after my recent post on botox.

They had their histamine intolerance in check, but soon after getting inked, those unpleasant symptoms resurfaced.

Tattoos work by injecting ink into the dermis layer of the skin, creating a permanent design. But how much does this trigger an immune response, including inflammation and the release of histamine?

So, tattoo enthusiasts with histamine intolerance, have you experienced any issues?

(This pic is not me. I have one slightly crap tattoo from a long time ago. One day I’ll post a picture of it here )
