Getting a TattooNo. However, you cannot donate blood because there is a chance the needles used are infected so be sure to go to a tattoo artist who sterilizes the needles and has whatever licenses needed to be a tattoo artist.

Do your homework on the art you want before getting it, it would be a real bummer if you got something permanant which gave others the wrong idea about you. I know a person who got a Chinese character tattooed on her arm, the tattoo artist changed it so it meant "slut" in Chinese. Ouch, real costly to fix!

I am 55 years old now and have numerous tattoos on both hands and arms. Been there since I was 18 with no problems at all except in Middle East countries where I get some strange looks.

-in addition to this, i have heard of artists digging too deep in areas with bones close to the skin resulting in chipped bones. These stories go back plenty of years, so make sure you go to a skilled tattooist. Do your research before trusting your body with someone.

Tattoos done in a clean accredited shop, that gets inspected regularly should be safe. But there are things to watch for. Does the tattooist change his gloves. If he gets up and touches a phone, a doorknob, or anything outside of his immediate work area he should change his gloves. Does he put his equipment together in front of his client? Does he take the tubes and needles out of sterile pouches? Does he squirt his ink into individual pouches? Does he clean his work surface between tattoos?

Part of keeping yourself safe is being vigilant so be prepared and check him out first. If he is working out of his momma's kitchen, BE AFRAID, be very afraid.

Answer:You would imagine so with so many people having tattoos these days. Though, sharing the same tattoo needle with someone can be dangerous, just like sharing needles with anybody! For further information I recommend going to a professional website.

It's bad to get a tattoo because you might think it looks good when your young, but when you turn old, like starting to have wrinkles, you'll look ugly. The tattoo looks like it just has black marks on your skin. And trust I've seen it on old people and it does not look pretty. Therefore, don't get permanent tattoos.

It's me again. It's also bad to get a tattoo because it ruins your skin and kills cells.
