Is having a tattoo a good idea? 6 Minute English

STUDENTS READ THE LETTER TO THE EDITOR.

Dear editor,

I do not understand what is happening with young people these days!! More and more often I see them with tattoos on their arms, their legs, and some on their necks. This younger generation does not know the risks of tattooing. There is the risk of long-term effects of illnesses and infections that could be created by dirty needles. Besides it is very painful to remove the tattoo if they change their mind. Anyway, I will never let my children get a tattoo!

“In this letter, the writer says that tattoos are dangerous for people because dirty needles can produce illnesses and infections. She thinks tattoos are not good and will never let her children get one”.

What is a Tattoo Artist?

A tattoo artist is a professional artist that will create and apply tattoos based on a client's request. Many walk-in tattoo studios have hundreds, if not thousands, of images that the client can look at and choose from. Some clients prefer to bring in their own picture, or have a custom tattoo drawn up for them, and will seek out a tattoo artist that can do custom work (usually at a custom tattoo studio). Once the image has been chosen, or drawn, the tattoo artist will transfer the image onto the client's skin. The placement of the image can be adjusted several times until the client is happy.

There are many pathogens and diseases that can easily be transferred through the blood, and a tattoo artist must take extra care in the safety of the client and in making sure that all equipment is sterilized before each appointment and that tattooing needles must be discarded after each use.

After the tattoo has been applied to the skin, the area needs to be kept clean in order to avoid infection and to ensure proper healing. The tattoo artist will educate the client on proper aftercare.

A tattoo artist’s daily duties:

Cleaning and sterilizing tattoo equipment

Cleaning and sterilizing work areas
