It’s easy to think that getting inked is safe and healthy, considering how many people are getting tattooed these days. With shops popping up all over and every one of them touting their health standards, it’s hard to know whether getting a tattoo actually has any risks.
The truth is, tattoos do present certain risks that need to be considered. You might be getting a tattoo in a friend’s kitchen and trust your friends to be clean, or you might not have realized you were allergic to red inks before, and herein lies the danger.
According to the Mayo clinic “Tattoo inks are classified as cosmetics, so they aren’t regulated or approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)” which means that your tattoo artist could literally be injecting anything under your skin. This opens up an entire world of allergies and possible side effects from having ink permanently placed into your flesh.
