not that ive ever heard of. the ink becomes part of your skin tissue, so it shouldnt do anything. it is true, however, that you cant have an MRI for quite a while after a tattoo, because the magnetic fields would very nearly pull the tattoo back out through your skin. it will definitely hurt, and really mess up the design. after a few months, though, it is safe to have an MRI... something to do with things getting absorbed and dissolved in your body. also, red is the hardest tattoo colour to have removed. it is not even do-able with laser surgery (you'll still have the red patches left after you have the tattoo removed).
