Tattoos: Understand risks and precautions
Tattoos: Understand risks and precautions Tattoos might be more common than ever, but don't take the risks lightly. Understand basic safety precautions and aftercare. By Mayo Clinic Staff You could be the proud owner of a new tattoo in a matter of hours — but don't let the ease of the process stop you from thinking carefully about permanent body art. Before you get a tattoo, make sure you know what's involved and how to reduce the possible risks. How tattoos are done A tattoo is a permanent mark or design made on your skin with pigments inserted through pricks into the skin's top layer. The process — which is done without anesthetics — causes a small amount of bleeding and slight to potentially significant pain.

Tattoo ink poisoning Americans
(NaturalNews) If you're reading this, there's a good chance that you have a tattoo. After all, nearly half of the population has decided at some point in their life that it was a good idea to permanently ink an image, or special symbol, onto their skin. Many hold no regrets when it comes to their tattoos; however, others embrace them less so with age. But now there's a new reason to rethink getting inked. Have you ever considered exactly what tattoo ink is made of? Body-art lovers have complained of scarring, allergic reactions, and phototoxic reactions (adverse reaction to light or sunlight), and depending on the type of pigment, other complications can occur. FDA has not approved any tattoo pigments for injection into the skin Tattoo parlors are regulated by the state and city, but the U.S. The lack of regulation is slightly unnerving considering that 36 percent of people ages 18-25 have tattoos, as do 40 percent of those 26-40 years old.

New Study: Heavily Tattooed Students More Prone to Deviant Behavior
By Thaddeus M. Baklinski LUBBOCK, Texas, January 14, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A new study titled "Body Art, Deviance, and American College Students" suggests that people who have multiple tattoos or body piercings are more likely to engage in risky and criminal behavior. The research by Jerome R. Koch, a sociology professor at Texas Tech University, reveals that those who have four or more tattoos, seven or more body piercings, or one "intimate piercing," are far more prone to use illegal drugs, be arrested for criminal offenses, cheat on college work, binge drink, and have multiple sex partners. Professor Koch surveyed 1753 American college students, asking them to report their level of body art acquisition and their history of deviance. "These students," the report states, "are ten times more likely to have an arrest history, a four-fold increase in drug use, other than marijuana, and there's a five-fold increase in having had nine or more sex partners in the last year."
