Tattoos and Your Health

"Tattoos have been part of cultures for thousands of years. It can represent your heritage or a memory. Tattoos are an expressive form of art. But did you know that some people actually can feel sick and might experience flu-like symptoms after getting a tattoo? I never even thought about connecting these two topics together, until I met Cory Clasussen and Briana Welker from Red Arbor Tattoo. With the help of Dr. and Professor Saige Kelmelis and her students from the University of South Dakota, they are collecting data to see if tattoos really can affect our health. More information about this study and how you can get involved can be found at redarbortatoo.com."
