KOCHI: Police and health experts have warned against tattooing and make-up, the modern fashion trends. The warning is based on recent cases of sexual harassment registered in Kochi. Police have compiled a list of state-recognized tattoo and makeup companies following complaints of sexual harassment at some tattoo and makeup centers. Excise inspections are also being carried out following reports of drugs being used as painkillers in tattoo parlors.

Tattooing carelessly and unhygienically can lead to skin diseases. Therefore, while choosing a tattoo parlor, one needs to be careful. The opinion of those who have gone before should be seeked. When it comes to tattooing in a closed room, women should be careful to choose women artists whenever possible. If not, make sure they have a female assistant. Recognized institutions should be selected. If you have a bad experience, report it to the police immediately.
