There have also been reports of people suffering from swelling or burning after undergoing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and tattoo pigments interfering with MRI image quality. Despite all of these documented risks, though, many people– like Charlotte– are still opting to get cosmetic tattoos done.
“Many individuals choose to undergo tattooing in its various forms. For some, it is an aesthetic choice or an initiation rite. Some choose permanent makeup as a time saver or because they have physical difficulty applying regular, temporary makeup,” the FDA noted.
“For others, tattooing is an adjunct to reconstructive surgery, particularly of the face of breast, to simulate natural pigmentation.”
For instance, people who have lost their eyebrow hair due to alopecia may decide to have eyebrows tattooed on their skin. At the same time, those with vitiligo– or a lack of pigmentation in certain areas of the skin– might try tattooing in hopes of camouflaging the condition.
“Whatever their reason, consumers should be aware of the risks involved in order to make an informed decision,” the FDA advised.
Would you ever get a contour tattoo? What about other forms of cosmetic tattoos, like microblading or lip blushing?
