Tattoo Risks
- Although we take all possible measures to ensure the safety of our clients, it is important to note that there is always some degree of risk involved in getting a tattoo. While medical complications are uncommon, they may still occur. As with any invasive procedure, tattooing may involve possible health risks including pain, bleeding, swelling, infection, scarring of the tattooed area and nerve damage. It is also essential that you follow aftercare instructions carefully and take proper care of your new tattoo to minimize the risk of any adverse effects.
