Risk of getting tats

While many tattoos are given with success, there are
some that do not have such a happy outcome. There
are risks of getting a tattoo that cannot be discounted.
Among them, the risk of contracting a disease from
unsanitary equipment. In addition, a tattoo recipient
may be subject to a skin infection if the tattoo is not
properly cleaned and cared for after it's creation.
Any type of problems that may arise as a result of
getting a tattoo will likely have to be handled with the
help of a licensed physician. This may include medication
to treat any illness or infection that may occur. In
addition to the immediate concerns, there may be a
later need for a physician if the tattoo recipient should
later decide to have it removed. In this scenario, the
only way to remove a tattoo is through surgery.

If a tattoo recipient decides to have the image removed,
there are even more risks associated with surgery. And,
since the surgery is to remove a tattoo, these risks may
be considered as a direct result of the tattoo itself. With
tattoo removal, the patient may experience either an
out-patient or brief stay in the hospital. This will depend
on whether or not any complications occur during surgery.
Some of the most common risks associated with surgery
include infection, allergic reactions to medication or
permanent scarring. Depending on the health of the patient,
more serious complications may arise and questions relating
to these possibilities will be addressed by a qualified physician.

A cosmetic risk, but not necessarily one relating to health,
is the possibility that a tattoo artist is not experienced and
may not properly design or seal the tattoo. If a design is not
done properly, it can look unprofessional and may be an
embarrassment to the tattoo recipient. While this may not
present a direct health risk, it may force the patient to
attempt ways at covering the tattoo that he/she had once
planned to showcase. If a tattoo is done incorrectly, some
customers may elect for removal surgery and this can
carry the risks as mentioned above.
