It doesn’t really matter if you are a guy or a girl and what kind of tattoo you are getting. Allergic reactions can happen to everybody.
It doesn’t happen as often as one might think, but it happens. As experience shows, mostly allergic reactions are caused by the colors red and yellow or colors which contain red and yellow. It can be that an allergic reaction will not happen right after you got the tattoo but many weeks or even years later. Your body changes and so may your allergic status, and one day, all of a sudden you react allergic to your tattoo or, to be exact, to the ink that has been used.
How do you know that you have an allergic reaction?
In most cases an ink allergy will be itchy and raised only in certain spots of the particular color and irritations will remain with you for a longer period of time. Special ointments may solve the problem or, for serious cases, a medical perscription or even the complete removal of the tattoo may be necessary.
But, don’t panic - as mentioned right in the beginning, those kind of skin reactions do not happen very often.
Anyhow, just to make sure you are safe, you might consider to see a dermatologist before getting a tattoo. And if you tend to have allergic reactions to many things, you might stick with a black tattoo and/or non-chemical colors.
