Problem Problem: tattoos are expensive and permanent and could cause infection and disease such as Hiv, Hepatitis, Aids
22
One potential risk is a bacterial infection at the tattoo site
One potential risk is a bacterial infection at the tattoo site. Symptoms of this include redness, warmth and a pus-like drainage. You may also have a reaction to the tattoo, in which bumps called granulomas or excessive scarring may appear. Some people may have a serious allergic reaction to the types of dyes used in tattoos.
23
One thing to keep in mind is that there’s no way to know what’s in the ink that is being used for your tattoo. There is no need for tattoo artists to tell you what materials and pigments are used in the ink, so you will have no way of knowing what you are exposing your body to.You may find that the ink itself can be harmless, but the carrier solution used to inject the ink into your body can contain substances like antifreeze, toxic aldehydes like formaldehyde, detergents, denatured alcohol, rubbing alcohol, and even methanol. Seeing as there is no list of ingredients on the bottle, you can’t be 100% certain that the tattoo is going to be safe.
24
The FDA has not approved any tattoo pigments for injection into the skin. This applies to all tattoo pigments, including those used for ultraviolet (UV) and glow- in-the-dark tattoos. Many pigments used in tattoo inks are industrial-grade colors suitable for printers' ink or automobile paint.
