Can you get a staph infection from being tattooed and does the tattoo process cause it or is it something in or on your skin?

Staph is a bacterial that sits harmlessly on your skin. If you puncture the skin, it may enter the wound and become an infection. So you could've developed the infection from the punctures of the needle in the tattoo process. It is possible that the original bacteria was on your skin, but it could've also come from the hands of the tattoo artist. staph from tattooo is very rare...but wats more common is hepatitis C...very dangerous oncogenic virus...so be sure u get tattooed in a proper place.

Got tattooed have rash like around it rash hurt to touch got tattoo on back of calf now foot is swelling swelling started today got tattooed 7 days ago?
sounds like a infection that is starting or about to start. Talk to your tattoo artist first as they can tell if it is a ink reaction or something more serious like a staph infection or cellulitus. A Dr. visit should be in the works as well if it is a serious infection you need more than some cream bro.
What words should you put on your prayer hands tattoo?
If you don't know, then you shouldn't get the tattoo. A tattoo is permanent, and must be something you are comfortable with, and which means something to you. Getting a wording tattooed onto yourself because some stranger suggested it is ridiculous.
