Hi There, I have lots of tatts everywhere and I honestly have never had any serious issues with them. I had swellling with the ones on my hips and my half sleeve, but that’s not uncommon. But the rest of them I never any swelling. I took really good care of them while they were healing. I hope you don’t mind me suggesting to research the artist really well before you go to someone. Take at their artwork, style and read any reference or reviews that you can. Oh yes, and make sure their establishment is clean. I probably sound really picky but I was just like you when I went to get my first one 10 years ago. And I was worried how it would effect my body. They are so much fun to do and I enjoy them so very much. I hope that helps a little and I wish you the best! 🤗☮️ Happy Tatting!!!
