Infection risks
RECENT national press pictures of the ‘High & Mighty’ show an increasing trend for skin tattooing.
I don’t know if the ‘semicolon’ tattoo is a surface stain or under the skin, and of course very small, but it is worth remembering that large injected tattoos may introduce infection and the area affected cannot be used for skin grafting such as for burns, etc.
