Body Piercing & Tattooing: Risks to Health

I found this article to be very interesting because I realized when I first started college back in 2009 there were multiple people walking around campus with crazy tattoos and piercings and I was one of them. I got my first tattoo when i was about 16 and I've been addicted ever since. I think there's something about seeing your ideas and or drawings actually scripted on your body. Many people look at tattoos as a way to express who they are through art and some even use it to tell stories about their lives. Although there are many health risks with getting tattoos or piercings it is up to the person who wants to get the piercings or tattoos to do the research and make sure they use precaution before and after getting it done.
