DIY tattoo safety PSA from a pro artist

“*DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME!* As a professional tattoo artist, I’ve seen my fair share of DIY disasters. But let me tell you, tattooing yourself without proper training and knowledge can lead to some serious consequences! *Infection*: Unsterilized equipment and improper aftercare can lead to bacterial, viral, or fungal infections. *Scarring*: Incorrect needle depth, angle, and pressure can cause permanent scarring, keloid formation, and skin texture changes. *Allergic reactions*: Unknown allergies to ink or other tattoo materials can cause severe reactions, including anaphylaxis. *Nerve damage*: Improper technique can damage nerves, leading to numbness, tingling, or chronic pain. *Permanent regret*: Let’s face it, a bad tattoo can be a constant reminder of a mistake. And speaking of mistakes, have you seen the trailer for the new “Final Destination” movie? The one where a guy tattoos himself and meets a...let’s just say, fiery demise? Yeah, don’t try that at home either! Don’t risk your health and well-being! If you want a tattoo, find a reputable and licensed professional who can guide you through the process. Stay safe, and let’s get inked responsibly! #TattooSafety #diydisasters #professionaltattooartis #tattooexperience #responsibleinking #finaldestinationbloodlines #finaldestination #finaldestinationbloodlines2025 #tattoosafe
