Yes there are!! Tattoos are a great form of self expression, but the risks that come with it aren't to be joked with. Here are some of the health risks and problems that come with getting tattoos

1. Possible allergic reaction: People may be allergic to the ink used on their skin and the ensuing allergic reaction may take years before it even shows up and it will come up in the form of a rash in the affected area.

2. Skin infections: Tattoos can be gateways for bacteria and harmful microbes to enter the body, especially when you just got it. You could be at risk of getting diseases like staphylococcus or even tuberculosis.

3. Keloid formation: keloids are overgrown scar tissue and seeing as tattoos are basically sort of "artistic injuries", your entire tattoo could become a huge keloid.

4. Disease contraction: If an unsterilised needle is used, then you run a risk of contacting diseases like HIV, hepatitis B and C and tetanus.

5. Swelling of the tattoo site: The tattoo site could experience some serious inflammation especially when the tattoo is healing and some people have even been know to experience a burning sensation on the tattoo area.

Overall, I don't think getting a tattoo is a good idea, but if want to get one, then at least be sure that you reduce the risk of having any of the above complications.
