My best advise to you, is to pop into the local shop that you wish to be tattooed at, inform the artist of your allergies, and have him/her look up the ingredients of the ink. If the information isn't on the packaging, metallic content at least, should be available by calling the company which makes the ink. You can probably have a tattoo, you'd just have to be careful with tattoo ink, and that's definitely something your artist can help you with. It may be as simple as avoiding certain colors. I'd venture a guess to say you'd have problems with reds maybe, and blues probably.
