This Australian article talks about the dangers of backyard tattooists. These are people who perform tattoos in a non-professional & questionable sanitary levels. Oh boy, look someone else is griping against tattoos. No, not really, if you want a tat, get a tat, just get it from someone who isn't going to give you HIV, HepC, TB or who knows what else.
Many of these artist are reusing needles & failing to sterilize their equipment. Every person's blood that needle has tattooed is now on that needle & can transmit whatever illnesses those people may have had. Unsafe tattooing practices are just as dangerous as unprotected sex.
To save a bit of $, these people are willing to use tattoo artists who don't follow safety protocols. That meager savings could leave them with a life threatening virus or a severely infected tattoo. Won't that be pretty? Snark.
Cya...
