从医学保健角度看，文身是一种有害健康的行为。皮肤是人体的第一道防线，能抵御外界机械性、物理性、化学性刺激的伤害和病原微生物的侵袭对于人类的健康有重要作用。而文身却破坏了这道防线，使人体抵御各种刺激的能力下降，特别是容易招致细菌感染。
From a healthcare perspective, tattooing is a harmful behavior to health. The skin is the first line of defense of the human body, which can resist external mechanical, physical, and chemical stimuli and the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms, playing an important role in human health. However, tattoos disrupt this line of defense, reducing the body's ability to resist various stimuli, especially making it susceptible to bacterial infections.
伤害一文身文刺时大多消毒不严格或者根本不消毒，当针尖刺入皮肤后，细菌等病原微生物随之带入机体，引起各种感染性疾病，如疖、痈、丹毒、脓疱疮等。如果创伤面积大、细菌毒力强，甚或在血液中生长繁殖，还会患败血症而危及生命，文身感染的危险性是美国血库协会要求文身者要等满一年后才能献血的最大因素。
When a tattoo is injured, most tattoos are not strictly disinfected or are not disinfected at all. When the tip of the needle penetrates the skin, bacteria and other pathogenic microorganisms will be brought into the body, causing various infectious diseases, such as furuncles, carbuncles, erysipelas, pustules, etc. If the trauma area is large, the bacterial virulence is strong, or even grows and reproduces in the blood, it can also lead to sepsis and endanger life. The risk of tattoo infection is the biggest factor that the American Blood Bank Association requires tattooed individuals to wait for at least one year before donating blood.
伤害二有文身的人在中国是不能就职于国家企业或事业单位领导层的.如果文身后再清洗掉的话，唯一的办法是做整形手术。但是因为当初是通过激光或药物烧灼皮肤造成的文身，尚未研究出一种特效药物能将其一点不留痕的修复，唯一的办法是做整形手术。
People with tattoos are not allowed to work in the leadership positions of national enterprises or public institutions in China. If the tattoo is removed after cleaning, the only way is to undergo plastic surgery. But because the tattoo was originally caused by laser or medication burning the skin, no specific drug has been developed to repair it without leaving any marks. The only way is to undergo plastic surgery.
