Although it's not very common, your body can reject the tattoo ink of a new tattoo. There are various reasons that your body may reject your new tattoo, which may include anything from a reaction, medications that you may be on, improper care, or even just lack of skill and knowledge from the artist.
In most cases, if tattoo ink is going to reject it's going to be because of an allergic reaction to the ink or because of medications you may be on.
If you think that you're going to have a complication, you want to talk to yoru tattoo artist before getting the tattoo. You want to ask questions, and be prepared so that you know what you're getting into before spending a lot of money on something that your body may reject.
You want to see a list of ingredients in the ink that will be used. This will help determine if you may have a reaction. If the artist doesn't have a list of the ingredients in the ink, you want to get the brand and colors, so that you can contact the manufacturer for the ingredient list for potential irritants.
If you think that all is well with the ingredients, but are still worried about rejection, consider having just a small patch test performed near where you want the tattoo. Wait about 24-48 hours and see what happens. If you experience severe itching, swelling, or redness, you may be having a reaction.
Do keep in mind that redness and a little swelling is normal for a new tattoo. Itching is also normal when the tattoo is healing, but if it's severe, it may be a reaction.
If you have any concerns, definitely talk with your tattoo artist before paying the full price for your new tattoo.
