Piercings and Tattoo Dangers

Did you know that getting a tattoo or body piercing can expose you to the same risks as sharing a contaminated needle which can cause hepatitis B or C? We have had a tattoo parlor shut down near here because it was unsanitary. Yuck! Tattoo dyes can cause allergic reactions and some allergic reactions don't show up for years after you get the tattoo. Not only that but piercings can take months to heal and become infected. And then if you decide you don't want the tattoo anymore, it will only cost you anywhere from $400 to $600 for each of 10 treatments that aren't guaranteed to work. Laser surgery is the only way to get rid of them. The newer brighter ones that use the new dyes are nearly impossible to erase. So think twice before you get either of these. Better safe than very sorry.
