Do I want a tattoo?
How do you know you want a tattoo? Answer these questions
below to see if you are prepared to have a tattoo.
1) Do you really want a tattoo?
A tattoo is a lifetime commitment, so you must be
absolutely 100% certain that you want one. You might think that
it's the greatest thing in the world today, but will you feel the
same about it in 10 years, 20 years or even 50 years?
• 2) Do you know the risks
of getting a tattoo?
• Allergic reactions. Tattoo dyes
— especially red, green, yellow
and blue dyes — can cause allergic
skin reactions, such as an itchy
rash at the tattoo site.
• Skin infections. A skin infection
— which might cause redness,
swelling, pain and a pus-like
drainage.
• Blood borne diseases. If the equipment used
to create your tattoo is contaminated with
infected blood, you can contract various blood
borne diseases — including tetanus, hepatitis
B and hepatitis C.
• MRI complications. Rarely, tattoos or
permanent makeup might cause swelling or
burning in the affected areas during magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) exams. In some
cases, tattoo pigments can interfere with the
quality of the image — such as when a person
who has permanent eyeliner has an MRI of the
eye.

• 3) What if you want to get a tattoo removed?
– To remove a tattoo, it will cost around $3,000 for a laser
treatment. Other types of tattoo removal include:
• Dermabrasion, where skin is "sanded" to remove
the surface and middle layers
• Cyosurgery, where the area is frozen prior to its
removal
• Excision, where the dermatologic surgeon removes
the tattoo with a scalpel and closes the wound with
stitches

Piercings
• Body Piercing is a to create a puncture or hole made in your body by a
needle.
– YOU do NOT have to pierce your body to "belong".
– YOU can ALWAYS change your mind or WAIT if you are not sure.
– If YOU do decide to have your body pierced, NEVER pierce your own body or
let a friend do it because you can run into very serious health problems.
– Always use stainless steel jewelry if YOU do decide to get a piercing.
What are the risks of body piercing?
• The most serious risks are infections, allergic reactions, bleeding, and
damage to nerves or teeth. Infections may be caused by hepatitis, HIV,
tetanus, bacteria, and yeast. If the piercer washes his/her hands and
uses gloves and sterile equipment and you take good care of your
piercing, the risk of infection is lowered (but still exists).
Piercing

• Dental damage (swelling and infection of the tongue, chipped/broken
teeth, choking on loose jewelry)
