LECTURE 102 โ TATTOOS? ๐ณ
Yes, Selena got a tattoo while pregnant in our storyโฆ but should you copy her? No. ๐
A tattoo may look beautiful, but it is still made by repeatedly piercing the skin and depositing ink underneath it. That means there are genuine health risks โ whether you are pregnant or not.
Tattooing can lead to skin infections, allergic reactions, scarring or keloids, and contaminated equipment or poor infection-control practices can transmit infections such as hepatitis and HIV. Even tattoo ink itself can occasionally become contaminated with bacteria.
U.S. Food and Drug Administration +1
During pregnancy, most clinicians would advise postponing an elective tattoo.
Pregnancy changes the immune system, and an infection or severe reaction is something you particularly do not want while carrying a baby. There is also limited safety information regarding many tattoo-ink ingredients during pregnancy.
And yes โ in rare circumstances, bacteria entering the bloodstream can contribute to infective endocarditis, an infection involving the inner lining or valves of the heart. The risk is especially important for people who already have certain heart-valve problems, previous endocarditis, artificial valves or some congenital heart conditions.
So before anyone says:
โBut Selena did it!โ ๐
"Beautiful tattoo spot"
Please remember:
Selena is a fictional character.
Make an informed decision about your health as human.
Also don't forget her husband did ask an important question too?
Melodious Tales is entertainment
