Since tattoo instruments come in contact with blood and bodily fluids, diseases may be transmitted if instruments are used on more than one person without being sterilized. However, infection with tattoo tattoo studios in clean and modern uses disposable needles is rare. In amateur tattoos, such as those used in prisons, but there is an increased risk of infection. To resolve this problem was a program launched in Canada in the summer of 2005, which provides legal tattooing in prisons, both to reduce health risks and to provide prisoners with a marketable skill. Prisoners should be trained to staff and operate the tattoo parlors once six of them opened successfully.
Infections, which could theoretically spread the use of non-sterile equipment or contaminated tattoo ink include skin, herpes simplex virus, tetanus, staph, fungal infections, some forms of hepatitis, tuberculosis and HIV. People with tattoos are nine times more likely to be hepatitis C, according to a study by Robert Haley, MD, chief of epidemiology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.
No person in the United States is reported to have been infected with HIV via a commercially applied tattoo process. needed] studies OSHA Washington suggested that, since the needles used in tattooing are not hollow, in the case of a needle stick in the amount of liquid can be passed small enough that HIV would be difficult to transfer. Tetanus risk is reduced by having a booster against tetanus update before being tattooed. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention no data indicates a correlation between the tattoo in the United States and an increased risk of HCV infection. [Edit] In 2006, the CDC reported 3 clusters with 44 cases of staph infection methicillin-resistant back to unlicensed tattoo artists.
