Random question. Has anyone had allergic reaction to the ink or other issues due to tattoos?

Two of the neighbor kids have had infections. One just last week. Wonder where they are shopping.

Looked it up:

Local bacteria infections from tattoos are rare.

Piercing tend to run about 20% bacterial infections. Mostly from lack of proper care in the first 3 weeks.

There are stats that 22% to 33% of Hepatitis C infections are traced to tattoo parlors. 22% in general, and 33% in commercial tattoo parlors. Tattoos account for 41% of all Hepatitis C infections. About double the number of infections from intervenous drug use. Base line is 1.8% of the entire population has Hepatitis C. And approximately 5% of the working age population.

Choose wisely.

#1 rule for getting tattoos (as imparted to me by the guy who did my work), only accept a tattoo when you can see the needles being removed from the plastic. if someone isn't removing them from brand new, hermetically sealed plastic, get up, and never go back.

This advice was not only from a guy that has full sleeve, back, chest and leg tattoos, but he had also served a number of years in prison, and did not have any diseases. Even with all that "negative" karma, he still used gloves on anyone he worked on, and repeated used antiseptic sprays when starting work.
