Think more along the lines of you using a latex condom. Think of that world of pain. The only way to safely get a tattoo is find out if you are allergic to the ink. Talk to your tattoo artist, see if you can get a list (either from the artist him/herself or from the manufacturer of the ink) of the ingredients in the ink. Do this for each and every color/shade that you will be using for your tattoo. Look over that list, if you are unsure as to whither you are allergic to any of the ingredients, make an appointment with your allergist and get an allergy test. Also, find out what kind of metal the needle used for the tat is. If you are allergic to that kind of metal, find out if it is possible to use a different kind of needle. And, if its all free and clear go for it. Just remember, don't move while getting your tat, and tip your artist well. Especially for going through all this work with you. Good luck and let us know how it goes. Maybe even a pic of the tat, ne?<br><b>References : </b><br> If you are allergic to the ink of the tattoo to have it injected into your skin would be worse then you wearing latex gloves.

I would really take all of their advice if you have allergies. I personally am allergic to glycerin so don't do tattoos. Also pic a reputable tattooist, a dirty needle can give you hepatitis and other not fun stuff! http://www.inkedblog.com/archives/2005/09/allergic_reactions_and_tattoo.html<br><b>References : </b><br> I found some reasonable information on a Blog site for you.
