Tattoos are quite common in west but now the trend is also increasing in Pakistan, especially in the high class and students of expensive private colleges and universities. One major reason is that its harmful effects on human body are not known, another reason is influence of western culture.
Some of the risks with tattoos include:
1) Infections: Before going to tattoo your body you should know that it may cause infection resulting in rashes, pain or ugly warts. It can spread through the tattoo artist, syringe or the ink.
2) Allergies: People can develop allergy from their own tattoos, there were cases when people developed allergy after their second or third tattoo.
3) Disease Diagnosis: It covers your skin and results in late diagnosis of skin diseases and other symptoms. There have been cases where skin diseases were not diagnosed because black ink tattoo covered the body.
4)Absorbed into body: It has been observed that after death tattoos are gone, during life the tattoos were also seen to be gone after pigments are fractured and cracked, but the question is where the ink goes? It certainly goes inside the body and causes harms.
