Health Risks

Most common effects of body art are hypersensitivity to the red dyes and photosensitivity to the yellow pigments. Though, cancer has never been reported to be a result of such art, studies do show that dark inks can cause melanoma, skin cancer, to be harder to detect.

Society

While carrying a health risk, Society is also less accepting towards these forms of art. In a study interview conducted, it was found that most people describe body art as "dirty" and "gross". Adverse effects brought by the art can lower your status in society while some parents even find it unacceptable to the point of disowning their children. A large number of employers will also choose not to hire someone with tattoos and one would have to cover these artworks up in order to dine in certain restaurants.

Financial Risks

One important point to consider when doing body art is the financial cost behind it. Body art is very costly and the average studio charges $100/per hour at a norm. These sessions normally last for a few hours and can be very expensive. Over time, such art can become addictive and your expenses will begin to mount.
