August 10, 2007, Newsletter Issue #112: Health Concerns Associated with a Harley Davidson Tattoo

Tip of the Week

Individuals who are considering demonstrating their love of the Harley lifestyle by getting a Harley Davidson tattoo should consider the health risks associated with getting a tattoo before they make their final decision. Some of the risks associated with tattooing include blood borne diseases, skin infections and allergic reactions. Equipment which has not been properly sterilized can help to transmit diseases such as HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, tetanus and tuberculosis. Contaminated equipment as well as not properly cleaning the tattoo can result in skin infections. These skin infections may be resistant to antibiotics and may cause serious complications. Allergic reactions may also occur. These reactions may be to the dye itself or the gloves used by the tattoo technician.
