Nowadays people like to tattoo their skin a lot, but is it right to get a tattoo? If not, then how to avoid the infection associated with it? Today we will tell you about this in detail. We will tell you about five dangerous effects associated with tattoos. If you get a tattoo done, then you can get these five dangerous infections and diseases. So think a thousand times before getting a tattoo.
5 Dangerous side effects of tattoo
1. Skin infection
The least common problem after getting a tattoo is skin infection. In this, your skin gets redness, swelling, pain and pain around the tattoo. And basically the simple reason for this is that the tattoo making machine has not been properly washed, that is, there may be some dirty molecules left in it which can damage your skin.
2. Viral infections and bloodborne diseases
This can also cause you serious diseases such as diseases like hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV. It is basically transmitted through needles and links. So always check before making a tattoo whether the machine has been cleaned and washed properly or not. And try to know from your tattoo artist what kind of links he is using. That means if someone is using a similar link which has been tried on someone else before and if the same link is using it while making your tattoo then it can prove to be dangerous for you.
3. Skin Tumors
In some real conditions, the effect of tattoos can lead to skin tumors and there are chances of two types of tumors – granulomas and keloids. Granulomas are basically small tumors that can form around the tattoo. But keloids keep increasing in size and leave spots on the skin. If you already have this type of tumor, then you should consult your doctor before getting any kind of tattoos on your body.
4. Allergic Reactions
It is important for you to know what all you are allergic to because many people can have allergic reactions to color ink. This can cause itchy rashes, swelling, and many other skin related problems which are quite dangerous. Therefore, always get your allergy checked before getting a tattoo so that you know what all you can be allergic to.
5.MRI complications
Tattoos create obstacles during MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scans. Because the links used while making a tattoo are such that there is a magnetic field present in it and it increases the screen during scanning, this reduces the discrepancy in your MRI scan result. Therefore, before doing such scanning, definitely tell your doctor about your tats. Also Read: If You are Vegetarian don’t take worry: here are the 8 best sources of vitamin B12 for vegetarians
