Hello

Good question. We are increasingly encountering a list of side effects with tattoo art. It includes several different types of allergic reactions and severe infections.
These side effects depend on the type of dye used, the general aseptic precautions and who's doing your tattoo.. Amateur or professional.. Red color dyes are most prone to reactions due to its mercury content. However, other colors can also provoke similar reactions.
Moreover, we also come across several of people wanting to erase their tattoo after a while. Tattoo removal is a painful and tedious procedure.

So. Please make sure, whether you want something permament on your body and do your research about where you are getting it done.
