is it infected?

From time to time we hear this question: Is it infected?

First off t’s easy to blame the artist.. ” Hey Billy over at Billy Bobs Tattoo fucked me up”. But try looking in the mirror, thats because most of the equipment used today is single use. that means theres no way the artist infected you.. Most likely you infected yourself..If it is even infected at all.

Here’s some easy ways you probably infected yourself and not old Billy Bob.

You Probably didn’t clean it well. This is the most common way to get an infection, Remember when you’d skin your knee and put a bandaid on it? A Tattoo is an open wound that needs to be cleaned and kept clean.
