Is it possible to get a disease from a tattoo?
when ever you break the skin, ANYTHING can happen!!! i had gotten a tattoo,with all new needles, everything sterilized, the next morning i was cleaning my house, i felt something running down my leg (new tattoo on the side of my leg) it was puss!! so, still not alarmed, i should have been!!, not feeling so great i went & laid down, woke to a lot of pain, my leg was blood red!! went to my DR. he told me i could lose my life behind that tattoo!! i had to take shots every day for 2 weeks! and take antibiotics for 3 weeks!! severe case of cellulitis, and my leg is permanently messed up!!
