actually, there can be. if the tattoo is too new the ink can get into the needle then into the bloodstream. Once the tattoo has set for a few years there isnt any problems, unless the tattoo was done improperly and never set right after time.
I have one on the small of my back...i loved the feeling. I had a hard time cleaning it, my friend did it, due to the location. But if you have a friend to help it goes fine. Driving was hard the first day cuz I didnt want it to touch anything.
I have two good friends that are tattoo artists. if there is any info we cant help you with just ask Ill ask them.
some things to think about
:
AUTOCLAVE- make them show you it, if they dont have one, DO NOT get a tattoo there.
It should be clean...think hospital clean...thats the only way its sanitary...and the only way to get a safe tattoo with out risking diseases (hep, HIV, etc- they are VERY uncommon, but always a possibility if they are unsanitary)
