I guess I am missing what your concern is. You say the rash isn't anywhere near the spot you plan on injecting ink. I suspect if you have no problem with getting a tattoo, you probably wouldn't have much problem with contact dermatitis. If the rash did show up where the tattoo then what? Would the tattoo be destroyed because of the body attacking the skin and sloughing off the top layer? I don't know.

I would ask your doctor to be sure.

Sorry I have no experience with tattoo's. Anyone else?

PS. I deleted your other 2 messages as 3 questions about the same topic make the board harder to navigate. Try to keep it in the same thread so others can track this better in the future.
