What are the disadvantages of tattoos?

Tattoos are something that many trendy men and women do nowadays. People with tattoos not only feel very cool, but also feel very confident after getting a tattoo. Tattoos have existed in ancient times and not only represent a belief, but also a fashion and trend. We only know that tattoos have benefits, so are there any disadvantages to tattoos? Many people have not thought about this kind of problem. Let us take a look at it below.

One of the disadvantages of tattoos:

The skin is the first line of defense of the human body. It can resist damage from external mechanical, physical, and chemical stimuli and the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms, and plays an important role in human health. However, tattoos destroy this line of defense, reducing the body's ability to resist various stimuli, and are especially prone to bacterial infections. Most tattoo artists do not understand medicine, and do not perform disinfection strictly or not at all during tattooing. When the needle tip pierces the skin, bacteria and other pathogenic microorganisms are brought into the body, causing various infectious diseases such as furuncle, carbuncle, erysipelas, impetigo, etc. If the wound area is large, the bacteria are highly virulent, or even grow and multiply in the blood, sepsis may occur and be life-threatening.

Disadvantages of tattoos 3:

There are many kinds of pigments used for tattoos, many of which are chemical substances. These chemicals can cause dermatitis and allergies when entering the human body, resulting in local itching, pain, burning sensation, numbness, etc. Some can even cause cell mutations, which is a prelude to cancer. Moreover, tattoos are extremely difficult to remove. Currently, no specific medicine has been developed to remove them. The only way is to undergo plastic surgery.

Through the above introduction, we know that tattoos have disadvantages, and the disadvantages are particularly obvious. Before getting a tattoo, we must think about the disadvantages of tattooing. We should not be confident because of the tattoo first, and then be troubled by the tattoo. Therefore, friends who want to get a tattoo must think carefully before getting a tattoo.
