You should know the potential health risks associated with tattooing. These range from exposure to diseases and infections caused by unhygienic practices to allergic reactions to dyes and pigments.

• Infection:

The significance of risk of infection can be gauged by the fact that the American Association of Blood Banks requires a one-year wait between getting a tattoo and donating blood. As the machine enters your skin to imprint it with a design, it cuts through it thereby creating a potential for infections to take place. Any form of cuts in the skin can be a source for a bacterial infection to develop which turn may be a cause for low immune system, etc.  

• MRI complications:

It has been found that while undergoing MRI scanning, people with tattoos or permanent makeup experience swelling or burning in the affected areas and the tattoo pigments interfere with the quality of the image as the pigments contain metallic components.
