Hello,

What you need to be concerned about regarding tattoos is the possible transmission of Hep C and HIV.  Going to a reputable, well known tattoo parlor with proper instrument sterilization measures minimizes this risk.  Other than that you should be fine.

Best regards,

Visits with my last gynocology Dr. haunt me. He would always tell me I need to relax and if I make my mouth form a circle like saying "O" it will relax the vagina. It always made me uncomfortable because it made no sense. Is this true and If not true what can or should I do about it?  Please help this creeps me out.
