Increasing trend of getting tattoos among youth
The trend of getting tattoos is increasing among the youth, not only in cities but also in rural areas. Tattoos on the body have become a fashion statement, especially among the youth. In states like Bihar, Jharkhand, and Uttar Pradesh, getting tattoos has become a popular trend. People get tattoos on occasions like New Year, Sawan, or as a symbol of their love. However, getting tattoos on the body can have side effects and can even cause various diseases if precautions are not taken.
Possible harms of getting tattoos
According to Dr. Krishna Kumar, a medical officer at Begusarai Sadar Hospital, getting tattoos can pose a risk of HIV infection, and several cases have been reported in recent years. There is also a risk of skin cancer due to getting tattoos on the body. The ink used in tattoos may contain harmful elements that can cause cancer, especially in black ink. Getting tattoos on the body can also increase the risk of bloodborne diseases. Additionally, tattoo ink can cause allergic reactions in some individuals, leading to long-term complications.
Precautions to take while getting tattoos
Dr. Krishna Kumar advises not to get tattoos on the roadside or anywhere without proper hygiene. If you still want to get a tattoo, ensure cleanliness and hygiene. Be cautious while sharing needles and inks with others. Pay attention to whether the tattoo artist is wearing gloves or not. Using the same needle more than once can increase the risk of infections. Taking these precautions can help prevent potential health risks associated with getting tattoos.
बदलते परिवेश के साथ युवाओं में टैटू बनवाने का प्रचलन बढ़ता जा रहा है। पहले यह सिर्फ फिल्मों में दिखाया जाता था, लेकिन अब शहर से लेकर ग्रामीण इलाकों में भी यह चलन बढ़ गया है। खासकर बिहार, झारखंड और यूपी जैसे राज्यों में टैटू बनवाने के प्रति लोगों का ज्यादा क्रेज देखने को मिल रहा है। हालांकि, टैटू बनवाने के कारण शरीर को नुकसान भी हो सकता है, जैसे कि एचआईवी संक्रमण, स्किन कैंसर, बीमारियों के बढ़ने का खतरा आदि। चिकित्सकों की सलाह है कि टैटू बनवाने से पहले सावधानी बरती जाए और सुरक्षा के नियमों का पालन किया जाए।
