Tattoos have created a fascination in everybody's mind and most of us get inked without knowing their adverse effects on our body.

Recently, nutritionist Anjali Mukerjee shared a post on Instagram stating how tattoos are linked with risks and health concerns.

In her video, she explained that when you get inked you expose yourself to heavy metals like lead, mercury and others which can lead to cardiovascular diseases, cancer, skin diseases, liver and kidney damage.

She also said, that tattoo ink inside your skin surface starts reacting with your body and produces toxic chemicals which can cause allergies within your body.
