Tanner stages of adolescent sexual development describe five distinct stages of sexual
maturity rating. There are separate rating scales for males and females, but both use five
stages.

B, C, D
Feedback
Correct Tattoos carry the risk for contracting bloodborne diseases such as hepatitis
B and HIV. Infection, allergic reaction to the dye, scarring, or keloid
formation can occur. Should an MRI ever be required, it is important to
notify the health care professionals, because the dyes can contain iron and
other metals.
Incorrect Amateur tattoos are easily removed; however, studio tattoos made with red
and green dye are extremely difficult to remove. Very little regulation
exists in the tattoo industry; therefore, the cleanliness of each tattoo parlor
varies. Teens should be counseled to avoid making an impulsive decision
to get a tattoo.
