How commonly does accutane effect getting new tattoos?

I've been on accutane for about 6 months now, and I've heard that accutane can cause new tattoos to scar. Has this happened to anyone. Like personal experience?

Ask a dermatologist. Having your skin defaced by a tattoo is as bad as having a scar anyway.

I know this ? is from a long time ago, but in case anyone still cares: Accutane dries your skin and can impede your ability to heal. dry skin and slow healing are some of the worst things for a new tattoo.
