Would you suggest not getting a tattoo? Do you guys think it would inflame or spread, or would I be fine?

Personally I would not get one if especially if you already went through something as aggressive as an inpatient epidural to get your RSD under control. You also mentioned it is only "some what" under control so this would also be a red flag to me (if I were in your shoes) that the possibility of coming completely out of remission is very real.
In the end if having a tatoo means so much to you that you would do it even knowing the risk then by all means go for it. If however you would rather it stay where it is today then I wouldn't expose myself to that risk. Asking all of us the questions seems to me that your gut is questioning this.. follow your gut instinct!
Maybe if you just hold off and either get a custom temp one done or even a tshirt or bracelet made with your very special quote on it for now.. then when you are 100% sure go for it
Just my thoughts..
