For those with tattoos, is it possible to body acne in inked skin?

Lately my back and the backs of my shoulders have been terrible with pimples and boils, mostly boils.

I’m guessing it’s because I haven’t been showering enough, though I guess boils can be caused by stress.

So far it has been on uninked skin, but I’m a little afraid I’m going to get one in some ink, and that it’s going to mess up the tattoo.

Does anyone else have experience with this?

Oops, I meant is it possible to GET body acne in inked skin?

I don’t have any tattoos, but I read a little about the subject and it seems that you can get acne/boils under tattooed skin.

They recommend not popping them in order to preserve your ink and prevent scaring.
