Safe?


After reading a few of my previous blogs I have had a few people ask me, How safe are tattoos really?
Well, to be honest, they can be dangerous. If you're not feeling well then you really shouldn't get a tattoo, because if it happens to be an infection then it can grow worse with the tattoo and lead to something more.
Tattoos can also be the cause of infection when they are not taken care of properly, but one of the best ways to keep them clean is to leave bandaging over it for the first day or so and then continually clean it or spray H2Ocean. H2Ocean not only cleans but helps a new tattoo from burning or itching as some will.
But that's just one of a million brands of spray, gel and foam to put over your tattoo to keep it clean and healthy.
It's not hard to do it can just be time consuming. Especially if you have a large tattoo. But it needs to be done. To me it would only make sense to put it into your daily routine.
Another easy way to get infections would be home made tattoos.
See my previous blogs to learn even more about the dangers of home made tattoos and what they can result in..


But isn't it worth taking a little time out of your day to keep yourself healthy and clean?
