A skin infection is possible after getting a tattoo. An infection might be due to contaminated ink or equipment that isn't sterilized correctly. Getting a tattoo at a studio that doesn't follow good safety steps also can raise your risk of a skin infection. Other skin problems.

Here are some first tattoo ideas to consider: Dedication to someone you love. It can be a partner, family member, or even a friend. Some people decide to go with simply tattooing that person's name.

Superficial and deep local infections, systemic infections, allergic reactions, photodermatitis, granulomatous reactions and lichenoid reactions may occur. Skin diseases localised on the tattooed area, such as eczema, psoriasis, lichen planus, and morphea can be occasionally seen.

Many first-time clients don't realize you can bring things to pass the time. It's helpful to have something to distract yourself, especially for tattoos that can take a few hours. I suggest bringing headphones and downloading something to watch, listening to music, or packing a book to read.
