| Response from Dr. Rodriguez-Torres
 The risk of infection by tatoos is almost nil, according to recent CDC statements.If you do not have a particular reason to suspect risk,as a shared needle or poor hygiene,most likely you are fine.To be 100% sure you will need to repeat the test in a few months. | ||||||||
