What are the short-term health effects of getting a tattoo?

You regret them later and it costs thousands to get rid of them with a laser.

You contract hepatitis from the needles.

You get an infection from not taking care of the wound, yes it is a wound.

Alot of people find tattoos addictive! some people get small images to start with, and regret the waste of prime tattoo space, or have to work the small tatt into a sleeve or larger tattoo. Also names, kids names are usually fine, but partners names are one of the most usual tattoos i cover up.
