If the tattoo is placed on a part of your body that is often clothed, any regret you may have about the tattoo in the future can be easily overcome by covering it up. Another factor that helps is if you get a small tattoo to start with. Tattoos can definitely be applied without medical complications if performed by a professional body artist. Professionals use one set of gloves, ink cups, razors, and needles per customer, and, with your own eyes, you should see that these items are individually packaged, unsealed, and sterilized. Professionals are also accomplished at keeping the tattooed area disinfected.
Tattoos are often permanent.
Even if you get a tattoo removed, some scarring and variable skin color will be left. Successful tattoo removal depends on how professionally the tattoo was applied. The skin blemishes left by tattoo removal depend on its size, location, your body's ability to heal, and the length of time the tattoo was on the skin. A tattoo applied by a more experienced tattoo artist, for example, may be easier to remove since the pigment is evenly injected in the same level of the skin. Go to an amateur and the pigment may be so unevenly applied that complete removal of the tattoo is impossible.
