A permanent tattoo will live with you to your grave. This fact makes it one of the most sensitive decisions one can make. You have to weigh both short-term and long-term consequences before getting one. However, if you fall into this category, you should avoid a permanent tattoo.
1. Job seekers
You should understand that if you an active job seeker, having a visibly permanent tattoo will decrease the chances of you landing a job. You will be locked out of some fields like sales where tattoos are seen to be a bad impression to potential clients.
2. Those planning to be pregnant
A tattoo will not necessarily affect the health of your child. However, the weight you are likely to gain and other body modifications related to pregnancies will affect your tattoo. Considering the pain and money involved, future mothers should avoid tattoos.
3. Those with skin cancer
If you have skin cancer or there is a history of this deadly disease in your family, avoid permanent tattoos. There is no direct link between tattoo inks and skin cancer but the organic dyes and metallic salts used are enough reasons to doubt the effect. If you must have one, consult your doctor for recommendations.
