Is tattoo really harmful to people's health?

If you tattoo with professional tattoo machine and special pigments, the damage to the skin is only to prick the skin. After the tattoo is completed, if the tattoo is handled according to the requirements of the tattoo artist, there will generally be no problems after rehabilitation. But if the inferior pigment is not only harmful to the skin, but also harmful to the body. For example, harmful metal substances in inferior pigments can cause chronic poisoning and damage health. Tattooing is not recommended if there are scars. It is not easy to recover after tattooing, and it is difficult to ensure whether the effect of tattooing is satisfactory, because once the scar itself has a wound, it is not easy to recover, let alone a tattoo that needs to pierce the skin.

The skin in the tattoo area is not dead. As long as the human body is alive, so is the skin. However, sometimes people often say that the skin inside the elbow is dead skin. Just because the nerves there are not sensitive, it is not easy to feel pain. This is not really dead skin.

The metabolism of the human body exists at any time, and the extremely thin layer of skin on the surface will become "dead skin" because of metabolism, just as girls occasionally need to use "peeling cream" to remove dead skin, but the dead skin on the inner layer only has extremely thin dander, and tattoos will puncture the epidermis of the skin. When tattooing, body fluids (tissue fluid) and a small amount of blood will constantly ooze out just after tattooing because of the need to puncture the skin and a small amount of bleeding. It doesn't matter after solidification. Usually, after tattooing, the tattoo artist will apply a layer of ointment on the skin of the tattooed area to protect and prevent inflammation.

In the process of tattoo repair, the skin on the tattoo site will peel off and itch, which is normal, but don't scratch the tattoo site, otherwise it will affect the color of the tattoo. If it is serious, you need to repair the tattoo and then make it up. You must take a bath during the tattoo recovery period, but you can't use irritating soap, shower gel, etc. Rinse gently with mild soap, because body fluids and residual ointment should be washed away. Wash it every day and apply erythromycin ointment to the tattoo area after each cleaning (the advantage of applying erythromycin ointment is to prevent inflammation and prevent the skin in the tattoo area from being too dry and forming a thick scab).
