I want to get a tattoo but I'm worried about the risks. Can you tell me about the risks of getting a tattoo?

The risk of getting a tattoo is that it can cause infection, allergic reactions and scarring. Infection can occur when bacteria from an unsterilized needle enters your skin. Allergic reactions may occur if the person has a sensitivity or allergy to the ink used in the tattoo. Scarring can also be a problem with some tattoos due to poor placement or design choices. Additionally, there are health risks associated with having a tattoo including blood-borne diseases such as hepatitis B and C and HIV/AIDS.
