“What we’re asking for is a toy of about 3,000 or 4,000 pesos, which is a small tattoo’s worth, that’s new if possible, and in good condition,” he explained to Workday.
“tattoos must be small, up to 9 cm, but must be simple, linear, not of a face, nor of colored or complex tattoos. These pieces can be done quickly and a lot can be done, so we collected a lot of toys that day,” he added.

be careful with tattoos
“Importantly, like any intervention that damages the skin, Tattooing is a clean, sterilized process so as not to spread viral infections (HIV, hepatitis B and C, etc.) or bacteria. Single-use materials are used today, so the risk is less than it was a few years ago. However, since these procedures are not performed in a hygienic environment such as a sanitation zone, great care must be taken,” explains Andrs Politi, dermatologist and full member of the Argentine Society of Dermatology (SAD) .
Another problem, he noted, is that injuries to the skin due to tattoos You must follow the discipline to sanitize the area A few days after the intervention to avoid the ingress of bacteria.
“Another problem is that many of the pigments used can cause allergies, which is serious because tattoos are not easy to remove. Chronic tattoo allergies are a problem that dermatologists often see, especially in patients who have red ink on their skin”, he revealed.
In that sense, he admits, large tattoos make it difficult for dermatologists to examine patients’ skin well. “If there is a suspicious lesion underneath the tattooed area, such as a dangerous mole or melanoma, it can be difficult for a professional to spot it,” he warns.
Finally, I warn that tattoo removal can be a very expensive and even painful process. “This is achieved with multiple laser treatments and the results are acceptable, but tattoos rarely disappear completely.”
