What are the disadvantages of tattoos? What should I do if the tattooed area is itchy?

Tattoos are very popular nowadays. Many young people get tattoos to show their individuality. Tattoos can come in various patterns and styles. Some people experience abnormal itching of the skin after getting a tattoo. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination in time.

1. Skin is the first line of defense of the human body. It can resist the damage of external mechanical, physical, and chemical stimulation and the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms, which plays an important role in human health. However, tattooing destroys this line of defense, which reduces the ability of the human body to resist various stimuli, especially prone to bacterial infection. Most tattoo artists do not understand medicine, and do not disinfect strictly or not at all during tattooing. When the needle tip penetrates the skin, bacteria and other pathogenic microorganisms are brought into the body, causing various infectious diseases, such as furuncle, carbuncle, erysipelas, impetigo, etc. If the wound area is large, the bacteria are highly toxic, and even grow and reproduce in the blood, sepsis may occur and endanger life.

2. The disadvantage of tattoos for individuals is that if the tattoo is in a more obvious part, it may be more difficult to find a job, because some work units will not hire people with tattoos.

3. There are many kinds of pigments used for tattoos, many of which are chemical substances. These chemicals can cause dermatitis and allergies when they enter the human body, resulting in local itching, pain, burning sensation, numbness, etc. Some can also lead to cell mutation, which is a prelude to cancer. Moreover, tattoos are extremely difficult to remove. At present, no special medicine has been developed to remove them. The only way is to have plastic surgery. The disadvantages of tattoos are now clear to everyone. In the past, many young people liked to pursue temporary excitement and chose tattoos, but now many people are troubled by tattoos.
