Are you considering a tattoo? Do you already have one? In case you’re wondering about the potential health implications that a good inking might have for your skin, our Tacoma botox clinic offers the following points:
-
The tattooing process is generally safe, though there is the occasional case of bacterial infection or excess scarring. Be particular about the tattoo parlor you use.
-
Some people have an allergic reaction to the ink. It helps to be aware of your allergies before getting an allergen inserted deep into your skin.
-
Some tattoos don’t react well to an MRI scan. You might experience a swelling or burning around the tattoo site during an MRI, and the resulting image may be compromised by an extensive tattoo.
- Though tattoos themselves shouldn’t be causing you any skin problems after they’ve set in, they can disguise other skin problems. A large, colorful tattoo can easily cover up a discoloration or a mole that might point to skin cancer. Be prepared to pay particular attention to the area covered by your new ink.
