X-rays result when high energy electrons slam into stuff, mostly metals. We accelerate electrons by using high voltage. An X-ray tube has high voltage applied between a cathode and an anode. The cathode, from which the electrons originate, is negative, and the anode, which is positive is the "target" for those electrons. The electrons, having been accelerated by the high voltage, "slam into" the anode, and generate the X-rays. The anode is the source of the X-rays.

How harmful would it be to have an x-ray taken if you have a tattoo?
It is no more harmful than a normal x-ray. There was a myth about having an x-ray react with the metal used to color the ink in a tattoo, but the x-ray will not affect the metal at all. Nor will an MRI interact with the tattoo.
