Avatar f tn As a tattoo artist I will tell you. Your gonna be hard pressed to find an artist who will tattoo you. Pregnant woman have a higher rate of infection. It has nothing to do with the ink, we swell worse, the ink seeps worse which leads to premature aging which will give ur artist a bad name, and with the amount of hormones we have it's much easier for your body to go into a shock state.
Avatar n tn You are so right! Cancer is a very hard hitting enemy and it never give up. But we have to beleive that we are stronger to be able to win this fight. Now is the time for us to be a little bit selfish, and make life all about us. Not to say that we don't care for others, but for me this order deal has helped me to take time for me, and not be so concern if others in my life don't understand.
Avatar m tn I was talking to him before we started and he said that he wash his equipment in water and soap before using every time but he never mentioned autoclave machine. 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.
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 f tn There are no contraindications for using lidocaine for the purpose described. The only danger is that lidocaine completely anesthetizes tissue, which is why you can cut or suture an area treated by lidocaine. Thus it is possible to cause a tear or injury that would not be noticed until the lidocaine wore off. In the case of normal intercourse, this should not be a problem.
Avatar n tn I went to have an old piercing reopened so the piercer asked me to wait 15 minutes for the taper to be sterilized (I'm assuming with an autoclave) as he was not using a needle so the tool needed to be properly cleaned if it had possibly been used previously. I know I saw no blood on the taper but I wasn't inspecting it up close. IF the taper had been contaminated is it possible to get it this way?
Avatar n tn This is a question for your doctor or a pharmacist.
696569 tn?1276535119 I would like to know what health risks are associated with tattooing, and more importantly, how I can protect myself against them. What should I look for in a good tattoo parlor?
Avatar f tn Tattooing is Totally different from injecting drugs. Needles used in tattooing are not hollow. Only YOUR skin that is being pierced during the tattooing process, only YOUR blood is being exposed. You are only at risk of infection from injections if you come in contact with infected blood directly into your bloodstream. It is Proven that transmission of HIV requires substantial amount of fluid / blood to be passed.
Avatar n tn After standing barefoot on the floor, the artist proceeded to tattoo the foot. While tattooing, he held my foot (including the bottom of the foot) w/ a papertowel, to hold it steady. From time -to- time he wiped the tattoo area w/ the papertowel that was holding the bottom of my foot and continued to tattoo the area that was wiped w/ the "dirty" papertowel that was holding the foot that had touched the floor where others walked that just exited the restroom ...
Avatar m tn ve been given an ointment to apply on these white spots but didnt work out. I have been contemplating going for tattooing but i know this is not a permanent solution. Being black in colour, tattooing (micropigmentation) could work for me in the short term. Now, you have given me an idea of the treatment i should seek. In case these medicines arent found locally, in Kenya, where could i get them. Would you be in a position to advise where i could these medicines.
Avatar f tn Can aspercreme with lidocaine be used on a burn caused by a flame if its not blistered
Avatar m tn i need treatment for vitiligo but i don't know what to use. i would prefer something simple and effective. nothing drastic like surgery. my condition is not serious but it is urgent. please help.
Avatar m tn I am terrified of needles too and I FELT NOTHING.. They used Buffered Lidocaine injection which I did not feel any of.. I must admit, I did put over the counter Lidocaine cream all over my breast about an hour before the procedure. I used this Lidocaine cream on my arm before a tetanus shot that I had to get and was so afraid of and I was screaming for the nurse to WAIT but.. IT WAS ALREADY DONE! Helps a lot so you don't feel pain. Nurse also gave me tips for next time I get an injection.
Avatar f tn Yes, but the risk of transmission from sexual contact is believed to be low. The risk increases for those who have multiple sex partners, have a sexually transmitted disease, engage in rough sex, or are infected with HIV. More research is needed to better understand how and when Hepatitis C can be spread through sexual contact. Can you get Hepatitis C by getting a tattoo or piercing?
Avatar m tn I did tattoo and body pierce 2 weeks back..not sure how good the studio is - he used gun shot for body pierce and needle for tattoo...now I feel sore throat and tierdness.. am infected ?? do I need to test ??
Avatar n tn There appears to be a diffuse disturbance in pain perception in fibromyalgia patients. Tattooing can elicit unknown responses in these patients because about half of them are known to have allergies. It may trigger muscular pains and other symptoms in these overtly sensitive individuals. 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.
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 n tn Hello, My sister needs extensive dental work i.e. root canals and fillings and crowns. She is a heart patient and we are wondering if Lidocaine, EPI, or any of the 'caines' are safe for dental work in heart patients? We do not want to start an arrythmia attack. Any safe meds? Thanks much.

Avatar f tn m concerned whether she followed sterilization for the rest of the materials that may or may not be disposable. She used the top part of the tattoo pen's cartridge to spread the numbing cream through my eyebrows before using the needle. The cartridge should be easily removed from the bottom part of the pen and then disposed of (as per government's guidelines), but when I later asked her what she does and if she disinfects it, she vaguely said yes.
Avatar f tn Has anyone ever been prescribed this for genital outbreaks or PHN? My doctor did for PHN. I just tried it for the first time it hurt to apply and doesn't feel the most pleasant now. Has anyone ever used this and what was your experience?
