If you haven't looked after your new tattoo and it is infected, then it could cause blood poisoning, which will make you very ill. If the tattoo is red and inflamed or there's a discharge then see a doctor soon,

While it is possible for HIV to be spread if a tattoo needle were used on another person, HIV lives such a short time outside the body that the needle would have to be re-used very quickly. It is more common for hepatitis to be spread in this manner.

A reputable tattoo artist uses single-use needles, avoiding the chance of the needles being a vector for disease.

A properly performed tattoo cannot kill you, assuming you aren't allergic to the ink used (I'm not sure if anyone is allergic to the ink?). You could possibly get an infection or communicable disease if the the tattoo artist reuses old needles, doesn't wear gloves, etc. You should check out the tattoo parlor for overall cleanliness, make sure the artist uses new needles (watch him/her open the package to be certain), wears gloves, swabs you with an antiseptic before beginning and periodically throughout, uses clean guaze/bandages, etc.

You can have an allergic reaction to the ink being used or the gloves that the tattooist uses.

How long after getting a tattoo done shouldn't you breastfeed?

Till the tattoo is fully healed. As you know, your baby gets all of it's nutrients and most of it's immunities through your breast milk, so if your immune system has taken a hit due to the healing of a tattoo, then the amount of the antibodies that you would be transmitting to your baby will then be diminished as well, thereby making it all the more likely that your baby will get sick easier. So, wait the entire duration of the tattoo till feeding.
