Tattoo Information & Article Links

January 22, 2015 25 CommentsGeneral, Tattoo BasicsBy Dr Greg Hall

Tattoo Information

Listed here are links to articles about the health and social risks of tattoos. It is important to have all of the tattoo information you can have. Some of these articles are favorable and others negative, but read them all!! Be informed. There is a lot of information on the internet . . . some is more accurate that others.

When doing research, search for common questions. I’ve placed links to BING so you can just click on the phrase.

Tattoo Regret

Tattoo Job Discrimination

Tattoos and heath

Remember, a person who does research and gets tattoo information BEFORE getting a tattoo is far happier with the outcome than those that dive in without adequate consideration. Considering how a tattoo will effect your personal life. How will your family look at it?, Will you future spouse have any reservations?, What will your children say in the future? You may not care now, but what about later?

What types of jobs are you considering? Are you going to be free to pursue any and all opportunities that arise? Remember, a company has the full right to not allow “obvious tattoos” at the workplace. If you aren’t should, check with the human resources department.

Finally, think about the current health risks, and the potential health risks in the future. Rarely can you do “anything” permanent to the human body without long-term consequences. Reasearch what could occur down the road. Getting enough tattoo information is critical.

The links below are here because you need to do your own research and not take ANYONE’S word for such a serious and life-long decision. If you see an article that we should include, drop us an email.

Don’t take any one website’s word on tattoos, do your own research, and then decide what is best for you.

  I’m sure you have seen prtiuces of me all over the internet with a total tribal and facial color tribal tattoo. I really would like to get my head in the light areas Tattooed by the Buddhist Monks that do that kind of work. Also, I have this urge to be able to get some tattoo work on my privates since American tattoo artist refuse to do it bit the European tattoo artist doesn’t bother them at all. I am going to be on a tour to thailand and will be arriving in Bangkok on February 1st. I will be staying at the Century Park Hotel close to Bictory Monument area. If I could get some feedback about either one of desires please contact me. Thanks!

  , I have watend another one for a long time, but I just haven’t felt the right inspiration. So I am waiting until I know what I want. Interesting the connection you make to children. I only have one child, Monty. And while the tattoo came long before he was ever in the world, well maybe one is the right number. I would like to perhaps add on to what I’ve got to add him into the whole picture. I’m told that will look like crap. Like wearing a Jimmy Choo next to a BIrkenstock. (My old one is lopsided and faded after 20 years.) I’m okay with it. Because isn’t that the way life is? We blend these things together, the beloved old and the exciting new. Lovely post.

Fairly useful articles you’ve got at this site, many thanks!!

“Dr. Hall’s book is a must read for anyone with a tattoo or is considering getting one for the first time.”

Marty Miller, President/CEO Miller Public Relations, LLC
“As a forty-nine years old woman, my decision to get a tattoo was far from impulsive.

However, my husband and soulmate has been diagnosed with terminal cancer, and I wanted to have some permanent record of our love, after he is gone.

Since, as part of his treatment, he will be undergoing Radiotherapy, he would be left with a small and very discrete tattoo or two himself, (in order to ensure the tumor is targeted properly). So after some consideration, I thought it would be a nice touch to have the identical marking tattooed on myself, to express my commitment to support him until the end, and to remember him afterwards. If, by some slim change he is cured, it would be a memorial of a difficult time in our lives.

I was highly delighted to come across a website, that clearly and without prejudice, gave advice to those who were contemplating making this permanent change in their lives.

After reading all the information provided on the site, I decided that a cost of 99 cents for the book was entirely reasonable, as it would not do any harm to have as much information as possible.

I am glad I made this purchase, as in among was a short passage suggesting that if you were considering getting a tattoo, in remembrance of someone close who had died, that you think about whether there weren’t far better ways of expressing your love, and whether you would really want a permanent reminder of your loss.

It suddenly hit me, that there was a significant risk that it would interfere with my ability to grieve and move on.

Thanks to this website and book, I have avoided making an irreversible decision, that not only might I regret, but could cause me significant emotional damage.

After all, I can always reconsider the decision, NOT to get a tattoo, at some later date, when I am in a less vulnerable state of mind.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

Su Mitchell
“Dr. Hall – I wanted to thank you for writing “Teens, Tattoos and Piercings.” It is clear, comprehensive and compelling. As the mother of 4 children – who definitely does not want any of them getting a tattoo or piercing, other than ear piercing, you have given me a powerful and non-judgmental tool to talk them out of it.”

Shannon Jerse
“Tattoos: Should I or Shouldn’t I?” was very easy to read and contained a wealth of information. The book really made one think about the ramifications of tattoos, all the way from health concerns to possible impacts on employment. I also appreciated the tone of the book; it did not tell you that you should not get a tattoo, but focused on directing you to make an informed decision. Parents should seriously think about having their teenaged children read this book and discussing it with them.”

Sherman Moon – IT Specialist
“If you are planning on getting a tattoo, or multiple tattoos, do yourself a favor “READ THESE BOOKS” so there will not be any unpleasant surprises. It is definitely better to be “safe than sorry”. There is information in this book that will help you make a wise decision as to “tattooing” and even the tattoos you might choose that will be with you forever. This book could be one of your best investments if you, or someone in your family is planning on a life that includes tattoos. GET THESE BOOKS!”

Tony Whitaker – Inspirational Speaker & Counselor
“Just finished reading your book, “Tattoos: Should I or Shouldn’t I.” I found it to be not only an “easy read” but also, inviting to the reader, highly informative and very thought provoking. It raises questions the vast majority of people with tattoos as well as those contemplating getting a tattoo never dreamed of considering. Given the demographics of those getting tattoos and the possible consequences of an often “in-the-moment” and seemingly benign decision, as an educator, I would strongly recommend that Tattoos become a “must read” in today’s health classes or information on tattoos become a part of our school’s health curriculum at the very least. The information you provide could prevent unnecessary regret and hours of untold pain, both physical and financial.”
