9.Having a tattoo means that you will no longer be able to undergo an MRI scan.
There is no risk in having an MRI scan. Some people believe that the ink will react to the radiation and cause the skin to swell and burst. Don’t worry, this is only a myth, you will not “explode” during an MRI.
10.Chlorinated pool water discolours the tattoo.
Chlorine cannot get under the first layers of skin like a needle and, as a result, it cannot discolour or dissolve the tattoo. However, it is not a good idea to swim in the pool with a tattoo that has not yet healed.
11.Drinking alcohol or taking an aspirin before getting a tattoo will help ease the pain.
Both alcohol and aspirin fluidize the blood thus causing more bleeding during tattoo process, making healing even more complicated.
12.The red color for tattoos fades easily and causes an allergic reaction.
Some people may be allergic to certain types of inks; however the pigment used specifically in red inks has been updated over the years and now tends to work better in the skin.
Any tattoo that is not properly done and/or treated will fade regardless of the color chosen: this is the truth.
13.Tattoos are a feature of the poor classes.
Some say that tattoos are the investment of the poor in art: then they don’t know the rates of the great tattoo artists.
Tattoos are more expensive than most people know.
Furthermore, it is difficult to understand the connection between the two things even though they have a word in common that defines both. ART.
