Getting a tattoo entails a number of dangers and health issues. Here are some health risks associated with that permanent memory.
INFECTIONS
Tattoos require puncturing the skin with a needle, which exposes the body to bacteria and other pathogens. If the right safety measures are not taken, an infection may result.
GRANULOMA
A tiny nodule called a granuloma can develop around the ink of a tattoo.
ANAPHYLAXIS
Itching, swelling, and redness can occur in some people as a result of an allergic reaction or anaphylaxis to tattoo ink.
BLOODBORNE INFECTIOUS DISEASES
The tattoo machine's ability to spread bloodborne illnesses like hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV depends on how well it has been sterilised.
COMPLICATIONS WHILE MRI
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans can be complicated by metallic particles found in some tattoo ink.
FORMATION OF KELOID
A tattoo may result in keloid formation or scarring.
