Possible Side Effects Of Getting A Tattoo

Infections at the tattoo site are rare but do happen. Tattoo parlors that use designs from Tattoomenow or Chopper Tattoos and that are unclean and do not practice good sanitation measures are reported to have the highest incidents of reported infections. The FDA does not regular tattoo shops so it’s easy for these places to get away with these practices.

Because of unsanitary shops, the APT, or Alliance for Professional Tattooists formed in 1992. Membership isn’t required but is encouraged among tattoo artists. Seminars are provided throughout the year for continuing education for the tattooists. Sanitary measures are regulated and encouraged to members of APT. Tattoo parlors that can prove membership are more likely to have a reduced risk for tattoo site infection.
