Some of the victims began to fall virus infection Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Tattoo ink is generally made from a suspension of water-soluble particles such as mercury, cadmium, tin and iron are injected under the skin to form an image by using a needle. Risk of infection can also occur when making tattoos because the ink containing dangerous substances.

Some types of red ink to make permanent tattoos do contain mercury and some heavy metals such as cadmium or different iron oxides. According to Prof Helen, the metals are used in tattoos on the skin have been known to cause allergic reactions, eczema, scarring, and can also cause sensitivity to mercury. Other colors than standard tattoo ink is also derived from heavy metals (including lead, antimony, beryllium, chromium nickel, cobalt, and arsenic). Just as the heavy metals in red ink, these inks can also cause skin reactions in some people. For that he thought a tattoo of materials must include the risk of heavy metal content, including lead, arsenic, etc., and which many linked to cancer and birth defects. Exposure to heavy objects that usually appear many years after people get a tattoo. When examined with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), for example, people can burn or shock due to heavy metals in tattoo ink is affected by magnetic fields.
