Potential Risks and Side Effects
Tattoos breach the skin, which means that skin infections and other complications are possible. The risks associated with getting a tattoo include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Allergic reactions. Tattoo dyes — especially red, green, yellow and blue dyes — can cause allergic skin reactions, such as an itchy rash at the tattoo site. This can occur even years after you get the tattoo.
- Skin infections. A skin infection is possible after tattooing.
- Other skin problems. Sometimes an area of inflammation called a granuloma can form around tattoo ink. Tattooing also can lead to keloids — raised areas caused by an overgrowth of scar tissue.
- Difficulty detecting melanoma. Tattooing over a mole makes it harder to detect skin damage, especially skin cancers like melanoma.
- MRI complications. Rarely, tattoos or permanent makeup might cause swelling or burning in the affected areas during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exams. In some cases, tattoo pigments can interfere with the quality of the image.
Medication or other treatment might be needed if you experience an allergic reaction to the tattoo ink or you develop an infection or other skin problem near a tattoo. Please seek medical advice immediately if you are worried about any of your symptoms after obtaining a tattoo.
