Dermatologist reveals 5 things she would never do: ‘Never get a red tattoo because…'

As much as you love those pretty jaw-dropping tattoo designs in green or red ink, you should avoid them, according to a dermatologist. Find out why.

Dr Gurveen Waraich recently shared a video about what she always — without fail — does not put on her face, skin and hair. On her Instagram page, Garekars MD Dermatology Clinic, the dermatologist revealed she religiously adheres to certain beauty dos and don'ts, and you should, too.

While tattoos are typically created with black ink, people with an affinity for colour can also choose to etch the design in red, green, purple, white, or blue — you name it.

As much as you love those pretty, jaw-dropping tattoo designs because of all the bright colours they've incorporated, Dr Gurveen says you should avoid 'green or red colour tattoo' as there's always the risk you'll regret it later on down the line. While laser tattoo removal is an option, it is particularly painful for red and green tattoos, she says.

She said, “Five things I would never do as a dermatologist: Getting a green or red colour tattoo because I know how hard it is to erase those colours with a laser in case of a tattoo regret.”

'Hair rebonding is like suicide for your hair'

Another no-no, according to her, is: “(Getting) Dermal fillers directly into nasolabial folds without face lifting or cheek contouring.” She added, “And lastly, I would never ever, you know this one, skip my sunscreen.”
