In
the past tattoos were just for a small group of people like tribal
groups. But the culture border was broken and in these days even the
average Joe can have a tattoo on his back. Yes the young people really
dig this.
The big stars supported this cultural reflux and besides tattoos the
piercing were also introduced to the youth. All good and nice but
beware. Recent studies from well knows doctors are warning people that
this rebellion accessories could have a great risk on your health.
The needles are the main factors in contacting one of the worst
diseases know under the name of hepatitis B. The risk of contacting
this is higher in underground workshops and the youth that just wants a
quick solution is really getting in something over its head. The truth
is that the number of cases with hepatitis doubled in the last years
and a big part in this are body tattoos. You should be responsible and
don't even consider making this changes to your body. There are always
safer solutions like: stick-on tattoo.
All that people want is to make money! What is the shortcut in this
situation: reuse of needles and even skip the sterilization all
together. Blood poisoning became a reality and even if I don't want to
give you names now, even death cases have been reported. Because people
don't care about your health the cream and needles use in the process
get infected with the blood of other patience. If you do this you have
to make sure, look, ask don't be shy this is your life we're talking
about.
Razors, unprotected sex and toothbrushes are ways of spreading the
disease. The mother can transmit even to the unborn child. The risk is
so great that donating blood is banned for people that have a tattoo or
piercing made in the last 12 months.
Of course the reaction from body artist came fast: they said this is
perfectly safe as long as you take all the precautions. In response to
the hepatitis they said that the hygiene 30 years ago was not at the
same level as today and no worry of the disease back then. In their
opinion we worry for nothing.
What we can recommend you is to research the studio before you do
anything and check if the person with the needle has at least a license
to do this. Maybe in the past the disease was not so spread but in this
day the disease is real and it's her to stay. The new era we live in is
helping the disease to spread around the globe in a matter of days. And
if we believe the studies that say the half of the young generation
made a body piercing in the recent times we should be worried about the
fact that 1 in 9 of them got some kind of problem or infection after
they did so...
