Visiting a tattoo parlor can turn into skin cancer, warns The Times of India. Thanks to the research of doctors, it became known that the paints used by tattoo artists are dangerous. They include toxic elements that can cause skin cancer.
The most dangerous of all was blue paint. It contains aluminum and cobalt. Mercury sulfide was detected in red paint. Some other colors are also dangerous due to the heavy metals they contain, such as lead, nickel, chromium, titanium, cadmium.
Unsafe equipment with which tattoos are applied or pierced. HIV, hepatitis B, C, infections causing squamous cell carcinoma, carcinomas and melanomas are transmitted through it.
Even muscles can sometimes suffer from tattoos. So, having decided to make a tattoo, at least listen to the advice of doctors and carefully choose the place where you will apply it. Do not tattoo near moles.
It will not be superfluous to check the allergic reaction to the paint. The resulting infection should be treated immediately. As for tattoo removal, this procedure also does not always go unnoticed and can cause either hypopigmentation, which is manifested by loss of skin color, or hyperpigmentation, i.e. darkening of the skin.
