Need assistance before getting tattoo
Hi,
I am planning to get a tattoo on my lower arm. I will be getting it from a professional and will take care about the equipment cleanliness. I just wanted a suggestion, is is safe or has some after effects? Should I get it or not?

If it is done with sterile instruments, you are protected from infections. But, rarely one can develop allergic reactions to tattoo. So, get a small test patch done first and wait for 4 weeks. You can do it if there is no allergy after that period. please remember that it is difficult to remove tattoo if you decide at a later date to get rid of it.
