<human>: I'm thinking about getting a tattoo, but I'm worried about whether it's safe or not. What are the risks?
<bot>: The most common risk associated with tattoos is infection. Tattooing involves piercing the skin and introducing bacteria into the body. This can lead to an infection at the site of the tattoo, which could cause scarring, swelling, and pain. In rare cases, the infection could spread throughout the body, potentially causing more serious health problems.
