Can you get aids from a tattoo?

Answer 1

Yes,..it's very possible. A reputable artist will have been through a training course on bloodborne pathogens and how to prevent contmination / cross-contamination. The process of tattooing involves breaking the skin, thus opening sterile parts of the body to an otherwise unsterile atmosphere. If in doubt , ask about the artists credentials, if he is "on the level" , he /she will be more than happy to show you certification.
