The TATTOO is a technique that consists of engraving a design on the skin through the insertion of needles with ink that is injected into the epidermis and remains permanently.

The possible RISKS or COMPLICATIONS may affect the health and/or the aesthetic result of the tattoo as a foreign material is used in the body. It is necessary to know them beforehand and they are:

- Local infection. It is more common if you have a chronic illness or take drugs that lower your immunity.

- General infection. There is the possibility of transmitting viruses, bacteria or toxins such as Hepatitis (HBV, HCV), HIV (AIDS), tetanus, syphilis through the instruments.

- Allergies. Contact dermatitis. Skin reactions. Reactions to the ink, or to the contact of the materials used during the technique (gloves, nickel...).

- Bleeding or bruising. There are organs with a rich blood circulation, which may bleed, sometimes significantly.

- Pathological scars. There are skins with a natural tendency to scar in the form of keloids, which are thickened and raised scars caused by a benign, exaggerated and abnormal growth of fibrous tissue as a result of abnormal scarring. They are not dangerous but they are aesthetically undesirable. Only in very extreme cases can they lead to cancer and are related to the personal predisposition of each individual.
