What are the dangers of pigeon blood tattoos

Tattoos seem to be beautiful, but the mid- and long-term effects will be terrible as the skin changes (tightening and wrinkling). Pigeons are a kind of flying bird, and they also have many diseases and parasites. They are also foreign proteins. Tattooing with pigeon blood may cause infection or allergic reactions. However, many people still choose to use pigeon blood for tattoos, but they don’t know the seriousness of the harm. The following editor will lead you to see the specific harms of pigeon blood tattoos:

Pigeon blood tattoo is to use pigeon blood mixed with white wine and cinnabar to tattoo. It is usually colorless, but will turn red after drinking, sweating or getting excited, so it is also called drunken tattoo or invisible tattoo. The iron-containing hemoglobin in pigeon blood will eventually be broken down and faded by the human body, but it may produce some side effects. However, in medicine, there seems to be no such after-effect after the hematoma on the skin and under the skin gradually subsides. In terms of effectiveness, pigeons with red eyes and white feathers are not necessarily purer than pigeons of other appearances. From a biochemical point of view, the blood composition is probably similar. Even the blood of other types of birds or animals is similar after being degraded by the skin.

This cellular component or biomacromolecule will definitely be degraded after entering the human body, so it will not last as long as inert pigments. Of course, the pigment is not permanent, although many tattoo artists tell their clients that tattoos are permanent - which is generally true, but tattoos also change - and should deteriorate slowly. Animal blood may carry pathogens (microorganisms and parasites such as bacteria and viruses) and transmit certain diseases or even dangerous diseases. Macromolecules such as proteins in foreign blood may cause allergies if they directly enter the skin and subcutaneous tissue.

Scars may form after the basal layer of the skin is damaged. Scars may turn red when drinking alcohol. You may have seen this phenomenon in your life. After drinking or being angry, some scars will appear congested and become very obvious. This kind of description can also be seen in many literary works. In other words, it is not the pigeon blood but the tiny scars produced by the acupuncture itself that cause this special effect. Some people also use empty needles to cut the lines when doing tattoos, but they are then covered by pigment, so there is no such effect. I wonder if any tattoo artists have done research in this area, using only empty needles to do tattoos and observing the effects after healing over the long term, especially after drinking alcohol. If the guess is true, then there can be a safe "special effects tattoo technique".

Apart from this method, there is currently no other way to create an invisible tattoo. However, basically all tattoo artists will not recommend using animal blood as pigment for tattoos, because animal blood carries many pathogens, which may cause physical discomfort such as allergies, and in severe cases may even cause infection. Moreover, many diseases are transmitted from animals to humans, such as AIDS, SARS, and avian influenza.
