A member asked:
Can a tattoo on my chest be dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Personal decision: An ugly tattoo, a silly tattoo, or one likely to make someone angry, can have very unfavorable consequences. Be sure that the operator takes all possible precautions against infection. A few illnesses, notably sarcoidosis, recur locally in tattoos. There's no danger to your heart or lungs.
