New Research Links Tattoos to Immune System Changes and Health Risks
Tattoo inks contain complex chemicals, including potentially toxic metals and organic compounds, which can interact with the immune system, cause allergic reactions, and migrate to lymph nodes, raising concerns about long-term health effects. While generally considered safe, tattoos may influence immune responses and pose risks such as inflammation, allergic reactions, and possibly carcinogenic byproducts, especially with larger or more colorful tattoos. Better regulation and further research are needed to fully understand their health implications.
