A tattoo is a permanent piece of art on your skin — and usually heals smoothly. But every body is different, and sometimes unexpected reactions can appear.

🔹 Most Common Tattoo Complications

• Allergic reaction: Some people are sensitive to certain pigments, especially red and yellow inks. Symptoms include itching or mild rash.

• Infection: Signs include increasing pain, redness, or pus. Clean gently and consult a professional if needed.

• Raised scar tissue: Some skin types over-heal. Use fragrance-free creams and avoid scratching.

• Premature fading: Usually caused by sun exposure. Always protect your tattoo with SPF.

🔹 When to Seek Help

If your tattoo isn’t healing after 2–3 weeks or symptoms worsen, reach out to your artist or a doctor. With proper care and advice, most issues resolve easily.
