Tattoos may help deliver vaccine

Tattoos may help deliver vaccine


I found this article in BBC news specially the science and nature column. It is about tattoo possibility to deliver some vaccine. Tests have been successful on mice and researchers think that it can be useful to in the cases where injection have failed. The effect of tattoo needles stimulates more antibodies production. The problem is that it cause pain and may not be use for common vaccines as measles. Researchers think it can be good for the animals’ vaccination.
The article states also that tattoo practice was spread because of electronic tattoo machine invention.

I am interested in this new because tattoo practice offers a lot of ethic controversial issues and it has an important cultural concern. Sometime tattoo is not seen to sign of responsibility and it may imply that a person come from a specific class or specific group. Traditionally it used to be a mark of ethnic belonging, of the position occupied in the group, or sign of an event. It can simply be esthetic practice.
The fact that it can cause pain is his contrast side. It means that people should have good reason to accept go through this fact. People from some ethnic group, actually in Africa have abandoned the practice because of the painful effect.
Another fact is that tattoo has contributed to spread diseases as AIDS.
