tattoo allergy leading to postive ANA?

I have tattoo on my right foot, 2 years old, severe allergic reaction to red ink.  TX with topical steroids and then injections with no improvement.  I plan to have it surgically removed.  while trying to schedule this, I am told I have a positive ANA / titer patterning for CREST.  Could the tattoo allergy lead this positive testing?  I have zero other symptoms.
