Accutane and Tattoos

[conductingchaos]

Got a course of Accutane to hopefully kill off this acne once and for all. I also have a tattoo appointment next week. I plan to wait at least 4 to 6 weeks to start the accutane to at least give the tattoo a decent amount of time to heal. I also plan to talk to the artist as I've read the underneath layers of skin can take up to 6 months to heal and that accutane may effect the healing process (though I'm not sure if that applies to the dermis or just epidermis). I will update with that the artist says, in the meantime, do any of you have experience / advice with this?

Thanks, I actually had read that article already. I'm aware it's not advised to get tattoos during accutane use. That's why I'm trying to wait 4 to 6 weeks before starting. I just haven't found anything that would suggest positive/negative in that instance.
