WHEN YOU ARE GETTING THE TATTOO YOU HAVE TO WATCH THEM WITH EVERYTHING THEY DO BECAUSE SOME OF THEM WOULD RUN OUT OF NEEDLES AND USE BACK THE NEEDLE THEY USE ON SOMEONE BEFORE AND THAT PERSON WOULD PROBABLY HAVE SOME DISEASE AND THEY WOULD USE THE NEEDLE ON YOU AND YOU CAN GET THAT DISEASE

unless you’re in a philippines prison having it done with a sewing needle – the odds are about zero….

yes by can get aids. Only if the shop doesnt clean the needles or reuses them. If u don’t see them cleaning the needles while ur there then just say u got scared and leave. Everything Eos should be fine

the chance of getting aids from an infected needle is 1 to 150 so don’t save money when getting a tattoo and go to the best, cleanest place money can afford.

spell tattoo correctly.
and if you go to a valid tattoo shop there is no chance of getting aids. you have to check if they use a new equipment. if not, run away!

if you go to a shop that uses a autoclave. one time use needles in blister packs, the artist uses gloves and gauses around his wrist, chances are 0% to get aids from a tattooing

Basically, if you go to a reputable tattooist that you know you can trust, and they use new needles for each client, your pretty safe.
The risk is very very slim.

Well, that would only happen if you went somewhere unclean/unprofessional….
Just make sure that you go to a licensed, professional place and check around to make sure that everything is sterilized – and that they use new needles on you.

As long as the artist is using a brand new virgin needle, the chances are almost NIL…most artisit will open the needle package right in front of you. If they don’t, then don’t use that artist…..aside from AIDs, Hepatitus is a big problem with dirty needles…..so don’t use one.

It depends all on how you protect yourself. If you go to a reputable shop to get a tattoo, that uses clean, new needles, you cannot get aids from it. but if you go somewhere that does not use a new needle (which is illeagle) you could contract the virus
