I already had tattoos also. But I can not get tattoos on mind. Because if they stick a needle on my white patches it get a redness.

I don't have any either, I guess I don't have the nerve to go through that. I don't do well with pain but I agree with aliciaroufs...."Go For It'. P S. My Brother in law doesn't have vitiligo but he has a sleeve and a boat load of tats. 😀

I have a half sleeve but at this point gonna go for full sleeves on both arms , probably hands too, when I have the money. So little pigment left on arms and hands anyway, unless my doctor thinks it’ll cause more problems.

I have several tattoos and had one done specifically around a patch on my inner arm. I actually get a lot of compliments on it because the color difference makes it interesting. My take is vitiligo is going to spread regardless. The tattoos give me confidence and a way to talk about my spots without the normal embarrassment I feel.
