Head tattoos are generally safe when done by a skilled artist in a clean studio. Risks include infection, allergic reactions, or scarring, but these are rare with proper care. The scalp’s thin skin and nerves make it sensitive, but there’s no major danger to the brain or skull. Use sterile equipment and follow aftercare instructions to avoid issues. Choose an experienced artist to reduce risks. People with certain skin conditions or allergies should consult a doctor first. With good hygiene and care, head tattoos are as safe as other tattoos.
