Side effects of tattoos, body piercing can be ugly
That new flower tattoo or pierced nose might not look like a health risk now, but the potential side effects could be painful, permanent, and look downright nasty.
Black spots of infection surrounded a shiny, silver tongue stud. A pierced eyebrow was a sickly shade of green, and a small permanent rash was all that remained of a temporary henna tattoo.
The result of a piercing or tattooing gone wrong can include allergic reactions, torn skin, scarring, and even diseases such as hepatitis B or C. Despite such consequences, many young people continue to be drawn to body piercing and tattoos as an expression of their individuality and a desire to be fashionable

One of the most unpleasant sounding consequences of piercing is keloids.
"It's probably the most disfiguring lesion, which is a huge overgrowth of skin due to an abnormal healing .The black that is often added to the product to make it last longer can contain additives such as coffee beans, charcoal, or large quantities of PPD -- a chemical commonly found in hair dyes, lingerie, and hosiery. Those who have a negative reaction can end up with severe contact dermatitis, or become prone to further skin problems if they later dye their hair.
process,"



Dental Health: Oral Piercing
While piercing the tongue, lip or cheek may be attractive to some, there are a number of health-related risks associated with oral piercing, including:

Infections. The wound created by piercing, the vast amount of bacteria in the mouth, and the introduction of additional bacteria from handling the jewelry all work to increase the risk of infections.

Transmission of diseases. Oral piercing is a potential risk factor for the transmission of herpes simplex virus and hepatitis B and C.

Endocarditis. Because of the wound created by the piercing, there's a chance that bacteria could enter the bloodstream and lead to the development of endocarditis – an inflammation of the heart or its valves -- in certain people with underlying (and often undiagnosed and without symptoms) heart problems.

Nerve damage/prolonged bleeding. Numbness or loss of sensation at the site of the piercing or movement problems (for pierced tongues) can occur if nerves have been damaged. If blood vessels are punctured, prolonged bleeding can occur. Tongue swelling following piercing can be severe enough to block the airway and make breathing difficult.

Gum disease . People with oral piercings – especially long-stem tongue jewelry (barbells) -- have a greater risk of gum disease than those without oral piercings. The jewelry can come into contact with gum tissue causing injury as well as a recession of the gum tissue – which can lead to loose teeth and tooth loss.

Damage to teeth. Teeth that come into contact with mouth jewelry can chip or crack. One study in a dental journal reported that 47% of people wearing barbell tongue jewelry for 4 or more years had at least one chipped tooth.

Difficulties in daily oral functions. Tongue piercing can result in difficulty chewing and swallowing food and speaking clearly. This is because the jewelry stimulates an excessive production of saliva. Temporary or permanent drooling is another consequence of increased saliva production. Taste can also be altered.

Allergic reaction to metal. A hypersensitivity reaction – called allergic contact dermatitis -- to the metal in the jewelry can occur in susceptible people.
Jewelry aspiration. Jewelry that becomes loose in the mouth can become a choking hazard and, if swallowed, can result in injury to the digestive track or lungs.
