CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Background of Study
Body piercing and tattooing or skin art as it is commonly called seems to be the latest fashion trend worldwide (Montgomery and Parks, 2007). Skin art dates back to biblical times when God gave mark to Cain.
Studies showed that tattoo served a variety of purpose like distinguishing mark of a slave or a ruler, also in Prison Camps where complex languages were developed using tattoo as symbols, from there it progressed to modern body art which has become avenue for self expression and a permanent sense of self worth and Pride (Robert and Ryan 2002).
According to (Galle, Mancusi, Onofrio, Visciano, &Alfano 2011), the Italian ministry of health issued safe practice guidelines that apply to tattoo and piercing facilities, many regions have since adopted these practice and established local regulations, many professional piercer and tattooist have formed association with health workers to promote sage body modification.Â
Despite this untrained personnel practice, body art out of unregulated shops, jewery stores and even at home providing tattoo consumers with ready access to these services. (Galle et al, 2011).
Considering the widespread practice of tattooing and body piecing and increase number of potential complications associated to the practice, it is important to communicate its consumers the hazards and to seek medical help when complication arise during and after the practice.Â
Use of needle and other piercing instruments allows mucocutaneous transmission of infection which ranges from local to systemic infections like toxic shock syndrome and bacteremia, as well as life-threatening ones like septic arthritis, endocarditis, glomerulanephitisetc (Roberts and Ryan 2002).
Tatanus, callulitis, keloid, bleeding, haematoma are other risk factors. As a result of these risk factors, health education should therefore be channeled towards enhancing the knowledge of tattoo and body piercing consumer on the risk factors.

This was why the institution was used for this study. Body piercing and tattooing have recently gained increasing popularity with the youth rating highest in acquiring it.Â
