Tattoos will naturally fade over time,

but when the time comes, just go to the tattoo artist who has done tattoos on you before to touch up the color. The advantage of tattoos is that now more and more people are beginning to face up to this art and regard it as art, fashion and a personal symbol of personalization, using it to vent their inner feelings and express their personality.

The disadvantages of tattoos are:

1. If the needles specially used for tattoos are not sterilized, they can spread a variety of diseases, and may even spread viruses such as hepatitis B and AIDS.

2. Some people with special physiques often experience skin allergies, pathological reactions or scars after getting tattoos. The result is that they become ugly instead of being beautiful.

3. Special tattoo pigments contain lead, chromium and other heavy metals and other compounds. According to research, these colored chemical synthetic substances are potentially harmful to the human body and are one of the factors that induce skin cancer.

Extended information

From a medical and health care perspective, tattooing is a behavior harmful to health. Skin is the body's first line of defense. It can resist external mechanical, physical, and chemical stimulation and the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms, which plays an important role in human health. However, tattoos destroy this line of defense and reduce the body's ability to resist various stimuli, especially causing bacterial infections.

Injury 1? Most tattoos are not sterilized strictly or not at all. When the needle tip penetrates the skin, bacteria and other pathogenic microorganisms are brought into the body, causing various infectious diseases, such as boils, Carbuncle, erysipelas, impetigo, etc. If the wound area is large, the bacteria are highly virulent, or even grow and multiply in the blood, they may suffer from sepsis and be life-threatening. The risk of tattoo infection is the biggest factor why the American Association of Blood Banks requires tattooed people to wait for one year before donating blood.

Harm 2? People with tattoos are not allowed to work in the leadership of national enterprises or institutions in China. If the tattoos are to be cleaned off afterward, the only way is to undergo plastic surgery. However, because the tattoo was originally caused by burning the skin with laser or drugs, no specific drug has yet been developed that can repair it without leaving any traces. The only way is to undergo plastic surgery.

Injury 3? There are many kinds of pigments used for tattoos, many of which are chemical substances. People with poor physical fitness can easily cause dermatitis and allergies, which can lead to local itching, pain, burning sensation, numbness, etc. It is easy to cause common skin damage, such as: permanent allergies, keloid formation, granuloma, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) complications, etc.

Harm Four: The toxins in tattoo ink may cause cancer when absorbed by the body. After the nanoparticles in tattoo ink enter the blood vessels, they will accumulate in the spleen and kidneys, thereby affecting the body's detoxification function. Some tattoo inks are rich in cobalt and mercury, and some tattoo ink products currently on the market do not have product descriptions and ingredient lists, so users are unaware of potential dangers when tattooing.
