Are tattoos good or bad?

There is no doubt that tattoos are in fashion, especially in teenagers. Many people have their body completely covered with these trends. However, is this fact good or bad for your health? As far as I’m concerned, tattoos have a lot of disadvantages.

First of all, getting a tattoo is very painful because a needle penetrates your skin. Besides, having a coloured and larger tattoo may take more than six hours. Secondly, the tattoo could become infected and the needle could transmit many diseases, for instance AIDS. Furthermore, tattoos could be bad to get a job. Many companies don’t accept workers with tattoos, especially if they work in direct contact with the public. Last but not least, having a tattoo removed is expensive and may not always be possible.

In conclusion , I think that having a tattoo is a foolish idea. For many people, tattooing is an art but I believe that art shouldn’t involve suffering.
