Body modification with tattoos is a very old tradition. If we look at history, it is known that its beginning can be around the middle of 1800. Gradually this fashion started spreading all over the world. It is considered a part of essential fashion, especially in Western countries, in which people paint most of the body with tattoo ink. This look has just started to gain popularity in India as well. But did you know that even a little disregard for tattoos can raise the danger of potentially fatal issues? Some people’s body is not fit for a tattoo, so it is very important to know about its risks before getting a tattoo.
