Is tattoo harmful to human body?

Tattooing is to use a needle to stab various patterns and marks on human skin, and then apply ink or various colors to become a symbol that will never fade. From the modern point of view, tattoo is a deformed aesthetic mentality, which has no cultural background at all, because from the medical point of view, tattoo has many hazards.

Skin is the first line of defense of human body, which can resist the damage of external mechanical, physical and chemical stimuli and the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms, and plays an important role in human health. Tattoos, on the other hand, destroy this line of defense, making the human body's ability to resist various stimuli decline, especially prone to bacterial infection. Most tattoo artists don't know medicine, and disinfection is not strict or not at all. When the needle tip pierces the skin, bacteria and other pathogenic microorganisms are brought into the body, causing various infectious diseases, such as furuncle, carbuncle, erysipelas and impetigo. If the wound area is large, the bacteria are highly toxic, and even grow and multiply in the blood, they will suffer from septicemia, which is life-threatening.

There are many kinds of pigments for tattoos, many of which are chemicals. These chemicals will cause dermatitis and allergies after entering the human body, and even make local itching, pain, burning sensation, numbness and so on. Some will also lead to cell mutation, which is a prelude to cancer.

Tattoos are extremely difficult to remove. At present, a special drug has not been developed to remove them. The only way is plastic surgery.
