 Damages of tattooing

Point of view: in favor

When we get tattooed it's because we think about something or we have

some thought, but with the pass of the time, changes our thinking and maybe we
regret getting tattooed and we decide to remove the tattoo but it's expensive and
“the removal procedures may leave permanet scarring” (FAD, 2017, p.15) for this
reason the person have to be very safe and even so for the mentioned the person
can repent, and “several adverse reactions linked to tattoo removal were registered
in the last years” (Bianchi. Contor. Pakalin. Piccini. Senaldi, 2016) Also you must
be very sure of the place where you decide to tattoo, according the FDA (2017):

[Equipment that isn’t sterile, infections can also result from ink that was
contaminated with bacteria or mold. Using non-sterile water to dilute the
pigments (ingredients that add color) is a common culprit, although not
the only one.] (p.4)

A great aumont of people they do not investigate well where to tattoo and is
very important investigate because it's something that I'm going to take in the skin
for many years.

After getting a tattoo, I have to wait 12 months for donate blood, this
because I can get hepatitis, VIH or some other infection in the establishment where
I tatue, this because the equipment used may be poorly sterilized, if our have a
family emergency and any need blood of emergency and in the hospital have little
blood we are going to need to look for donors, this assuming that one is compatible
and can’t donate. Another thing that one can do is go to make a blood test for
discard deseases but that isn't a common practice.

Placing a tattoo is a choice with potentially significant and long-lasting social

and economic, a great amount of employers prefer to give jobs to people without
tattoos this is because although the employer does not bother a tattoo if it is a job
where you have to interact with clients a customer might, and it is the customer
who keeps the business going, according Krystýnová (2016): “visible tattoos
should be for job positions where you are not in connection with a client or in a
public job position are not acceptable because you never know who will be your
future client, for example”.This because many people think that are conflicting,
dishonest and at a social level they are not accepted yet; of course the fact that a
person is tattooed does not mean that he is a thief or a bad person, simply many
people associate this with inappropriate behavior. Annie Singer (2016) also tells us:
 [thatbeing heavily and/or very visibly tattooed might make it slightly
harder to get a job, or if you work in a customer-facing field it might
make it substantially harder to get a job. It may also mean that you face
certain prejudices in the workplace.]

Many tattooed professionals prefer to cover up their tattoos in the work

setting, because for any coworkers that is incorrect and could be criticized and
better avoid labor problems.
