The tattoo inks nowadays contain certain elements like nickel, chromium and cadmium. These elements may not prove to be harmful always. But sometimes the presence of nickel in the ink may cause allerg to the skin. people who are prone to allergy should consider about anaphylactic shock or hypersensitive reaction.

Typically allergies to tattoo ink are in response to the metals used to create certain colors. These type of allergies are problematic because they may take time to flare up and can destroy the surrounding skin or cause life threatening conditions.

Allergies to tattoo inks can range from an allergy to the ink base itself or to the color of ink and the combination of colors the tattoo color is made from.

IF you have an allergy to any type of metal that is the most common. Colors such as red and orange contain certain types of metal. Just as a piercing made from silver may affect you the same goes for tattoos. Check for bumps or rash on the tattoo.
