* Tattoo cannot be removed: Tattoo can be removed through a laser treatment leaving no scars behind.
* Tattoo will fade when you get old: Tattoo needs maintenance. You need to moisturise your tattoo at least once in a day.
* Skin allergy and blood poisoning: People have a mindset that getting a tattoo can lead to skin allergies. With the right artist and hygiene factor, it doesn’t come up as a problem.
* People who are below 18 years cannot get a tattoo: You can surely get a tattoo even if you are not 18. Getting a tattoo will not have any health hazards if you are not 18.
