Young Adult Health. Healthy Body. Tattoos.

In Western culture tattoos are often seen as something associated with people on the edge of society. Since the early 90s, however, tattooing became more common and socially acceptable in Australia.

Although more people these days seem to have tattoos, getting one still carries some risks.

There are many reasons why people choose to have a tattoo on their body, including:

· Cultural reasons – i.e. coming of age or rites of passage

· To express individuality

· To indicate membership of a particular group or way of life

· To make a statement

· To establish a permanent reminder of an event – such as the death of a loved one

· To reclaim the body after an event – for example, a sexual assault

· To make the body more pleasing to their eye

· To annoy parents?

It seems that getting a tattoo can make someone look like an individual or a conformist, depending on your view. People have been known to get tattoos as an impulsive act, perhaps when they were intoxicated - and they may or may not regret it later when they are sober.

Getting a tattoo at an accredited professional tattoo parlour is relatively risk-free, but getting a tattoo still puts you at risk of the following:

- serious infectious diseases such as hepatitis C, hepatitis B or HIV (which are passed on via infected blood or other body fluids), or tetanus

- skin infections such as impetigo (‘school sores’)

- dermatitis

- flare ups of existing eczema

- allergic reactions

- thick scars called keloids (you are more likely to get these if you have dark skin)

- distress due to regret after the procedure - this has been identified as one of the main problems after getting a tattoo.

Tattooing is a painful process, and tattoos are expensive and so is getting them removed. If you want to have a tattoo removed there will always be a scar.

You need to carefully consider the reasons behind your need to get a tattoo before going through with it. Trends come and go, but a badly chosen tattoo lasts forever, or costs a lot to remove.

If you do decide to get a tattoo, you need to go to a qualified professional. Home-made tattoos, such as those made with Indian ink, should never be considered.

When choosing a tattoo artist you should make sure of the following:

· that the tattoo parlour uses new sterile equipment for each client, or thoroughly cleans and sterilises equipment (e.g. by using an autoclave)

· that standard precautions are followed to reduce risks of infections, as used in many places, including hospitals. Can they show you how they keep clients safe?

· that the tattoo artist has credentials, a licence and references

· that the tattoo parlour looks clean, safe and professional. You should use your judgment and keep away from a parlour that seems dodgy.

If the tattoo artist is a professional, then he or she will be happy to show you the ways in which their workplace adheres to standard safe practices. If they are uncooperative or give you a hard time because of your requests, simply leave – they do not deserve your trust or your business.
