Tattoo and Body piercing Exam CH 65 Questions and AnswersIdentify risks associated with tattooing and body piercing - Answer- Risks Associated With Tattooing - Answer- infections, granuloma and keloid formation, and allergies
granuloma - Answer- an inflammatory nodular lesion that may form as a result of a cellular attack waged against the particles in the tattoo pigment, which the body senses as foreign
keloids - Answer- an overgrowth of scar tissue
Risks Associated With Body Piercing - Answer- Tissue trauma, swelling, and bleeding, especially of the tongue, are initial risks associated with body piercing. Later, piercing jewelry in and about the mouth and nose may interfere with resuscitation efforts that require oral or nasal intubation. There are dental implications with oral jewelry as well. Metallic devices can chip or crack teeth and may cause artifacts on dental x-rays or conceal pathology. Oral devices can interfere with speaking and swallowing and cause respiratory complications if metallic parts become inhaled (American Dental Association, 2013). Piercings around the genitals may complicate urinary catheterization and vaginal delivery. Piercings can affect breastfeeding if a nipple has piercing jewelry. Also, allergic reactions to brass and nickel jewelry have occurred. Noncorrosive metal, such as surgical stainless steel, niobium, titanium, or solid 14K gold, are safest for piercings. One of the major risks with body piercing is infection. The potential for infection exists until the pierced body part heals, which may take from 2 weeks to 9 months, depending on the tissue. Body piercing carries a risk for transmitting
hepatitis and HIV. Reports of tetanus and tuberculosis have been attributed to ear piercing. Because the mouth is teeming with microorganisms, oral piercings provide a potential for causing or exacerbating endocarditis, an inflammatory disorder of the heart and heart valves
Skin Care Following a Tattoo - Answer- Temporarily avoid swimming, soaking in a hot tub, and touching the newly tattooed skin.
Cover the new tattoo with antibiotic ointment and a sterile gauze dressing for 12 hours.
Perform handwashing before caring for the tattooed skin.
