Specific risks of tattoos include:


Blood-borne diseases. If the equipment used to create your tattoo is contaminated with the blood of an infected person,you can contract a number of serious blood-borne diseases. These include hepatitis C,hepatitis B,tetanus,tuberculosis and HIV — the virus that causes AIDS.
Skin disorders. Your body may form bumps called granulomas around tattoo ink,especially if your tattoo includes red ink. Tattooing can also cause areas of raised,excessive scarring (keloids),if you're prone to them.
Skin infections. Tattoos can lead to local bacterial infections. Typical signs and symptoms of an infection include redness,warmth,swelling and a pus-like drainage. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has linked clusters of potentially serious antibiotic-resistant skin infections to unlicensed tattoo artists who don't follow proper infection-control procedures. Some antibiotic-resistant skin infections can lead to pneumonia,blood infections and a painful,flesh-destroying condition called necrotizing fasciitis.
Allergic reactions. Tattoo dyes,particularly red dye,can cause allergic skin reactions,resulting in an itchy rash at the tattoo site. This may occur even years after you get the tattoo.
MRI complications. Rarely,tattoos or permanent makeup may cause swelling or burning in the affected areas during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exams. In some cases — such as when a person with permanent eyeliner has an MRI of the eye — tattoo pigments may interfere with the quality of the image
