Body Art Safety

Health Risks Continued

Granulomas (small bumps or knots) can develop if the body rejects the tattoo pigment. Tattoo ink may also migrate to other parts of the body, such as the lymph nodes. MRI complications, such as swelling or burning in the tattoo during the scan, can also occur. Talk to your doctor if you begin to experience any symptoms associated with infections or skin reactions.
