You’re Sick

Getting tattooed consists of having needles breaking into your skin, which means you’ll be exposed to potential infections. So as long as you’re carrying a virus or even having a cold, it’s best to avoid such procedures until you fully recover. According to doctors, tattoos put people at the same risks as minor surgeries thus should be considered as a medical procedure.

Getting a tattoo puts you at risk of developing infections, reactions to the dye/ink, poor scarring, and poor healing, in addition to diseases that can be transmitted from non-sterilized needles and/or instruments. These things can usually result in long-term complications that aren’t easy to treat.

You Don’t Know What Type of Ink is Being Used

We’ve already mentioned the importance of getting to know your tattoo artist and ask them many questions. During this process, make sure to know exactly what type of ink the artist is willing to use on you and also its origins.

While many artists use sterile ink, others would mix it with water to attain the desired shades. Why is this dangerous? If the water used for dilution is not sterile, every drop of ink supply can be contaminated, and you could end up with an infection.

You Want to Mark a Special Occasion

When it comes to tattooing, one of the biggest regrets people end up with is having their partner’s name or even face inked on their own skin forever. Couples may break up and married couples may divorce, while the tattoos remain.

I know a guy who got his ex-girlfriend’s face tattooed on his arm, he then had to fight countless times with his new girlfriend over that old tattoo, so they both decided to have each other’s names tattooed on their forearms, but eventually, they broke up after 1-year dating.

The same thing applies to tattooing wedding, birthday, or similar dates. You can ask Kaley Cuoco about this one, she had to get a big insect tattoo to cover her former-wedding’s date tattoo on her upper back!
