Avatar m tn The tattoo was done with sterile needles opened in front of me, gloves where used at all the time by tattoo artist and color was taken from big bottles in new small color wells and dropped in trash along with needles after tattooing. My concern is because I have not seen the guy using autoclave machine for tattoo machine (gun) itself and tattoo tube (grip).He was using alcohol after he shaved my leg before tattooing and I think that he put some alcohol on machine and tube before he started.

Avatar f tn I wouldn't and most places won't either. The tat itself won't hurt the baby but I've heard some awful stuff about how pron we pregnant women are to infection and I'm not 100% sure on the ink I'm sure there is a safe one if you can't not don't go to the cleanist place you can possibly think of and don't get one on your torso.
Avatar n tn I frequently do both the tattooing and the erectile portion of the nipple areola reconstruction at the same time. It takes about one hour and is an office procedure. One injects a small amount of numbing medicine and the first builds the nipple itself, then tattoos the areola or brown part. This is a simple procedure, and has little post-operative discomfort, and yields a nice appearance.
Avatar n tn So I would advise you to exercise caution and avoid tattooing although there is no substantial proof of it being a trigger or aggravating factor. I hope this helps. Take care and feel free in contacting me again for any further clarification.
Avatar m tn Two days after tattooing I experienced low grade fever for couple hours and can be easy from something else not from tattooing because I was swimming a lot in the sea before tattooing and could be just cold. What are the odds to get infected in this manner and what is the earliest time for me to find out am I infected or not with one of the blood borne diseases. The tattoo studio was closed at 10 hours before I came because he is working from 17:00 to 05:00 and I got the tattoo at 19:00.

Avatar n tn I went to thailand and got a bamboo tattoo, and it seemed like a clean place, but im worried i got HIV from it.
Avatar n tn Body art is becoming increasingly popular in the United States, and unregulated tattooing and piercing are known to occur in prisons and other informal or unregulated settings. Further research is needed to determine if these types of settings and exposures are responsible for Hepatitis C virus transmission.
Avatar m tn t know what the odds really are but all you can do now is be tested and wait for the results. Home tattooing without sterilization of instruments would be one of the ways that it would be possible because there is no sterilization involved except some alchol and that wouldn't do the trick. You could have a completely separate strain of the virus that you got all on your own.

Yes, but this does not occur very often.
Avatar f tn My dentist gives me my shot and see another patient, by the time he got back to me I was fully numb. and the numbness last for 8 - 12 hours. I am highly allergic to lidocaine it puts me into anaphylactic shock, I have an epipen but sa that I don't have to use that I just make sure everyone is doing their job and I always wear my medic alert bracelet.
Avatar n tn I am a nervous wreck now, especially since a few days later, I developed swollen glands in my throat, and had trouble swallowing, and now I fear that I have been infected w/ something or other. Please tell me what the chances are of contracting something, and ... how long do I have to wait before being tested to be sure?? Thx so much for any info that you may provide.
Avatar f tn However, transmission of Hepatitis C (and other infectious diseases) is possible when poor infection-control practices are used during tattooing or piercing.

Avatar f tn So I have really bad vaginismus to the point where intercourse can only be done with a lot of lidocaine and with the help of dilators. I am 15 weeks pregnant and concerned about delivery. Will my vaginismus prevent me from vaginal delivery? Is anyone else dealing with or has dealt with this??

Avatar f tn Hi. I am a 50-year-old woman. I have fair skin and have had my share of bad sunburns, especially as a child so I always have this fear of developing skin cancer down the road. I have several tattoos but none on freckled areas. However, I am now wanting to start a tattoo sleeve. My question is, should some form of skin cancer develop, would the tattoos mask the signs or would it still be noticeable? I don't have any concerning areas on my skin as of now.

Avatar f tn ve had quite a few stellate ganglion blocks and have had some success. They thought the lidocaine infusion might help the other pain I deal with and kill two (or more) birds at the same time so to speak. KittKat23-78, Sorry the infusion didn't help you!! I hadn't heard about having several a few days apart; I'll have to ask about it. Mine is (at least one) being paid for by worker's comp. I'm hopeful but also trying to keep things realistic and in perspective.
1571533 tn?1322943509 Hey. I went to my PCP yesterday and he gave me a LIDODERM, a lidocaine patch, to try and help with the pain in my neck -he thinks if that calms down so will the migraines.. theyve been everyday constantly for well over a month and a half, and no meds help.. nor do therapeutic methods i have here at home.. Has anyone here used it before? And did it help? I tried to use it last night but it wouldnt stick to my neck.
