[laurafoley]

whats going evrybody!
i am female body pircing and tatoo artist, last week i accidently stuck the needle from tatto gun in my  finger while doing a huge tattoo. i remove my gloves and clean mu finger with alcohol and procced working on the tatoo.
but since then i been lil concern , i examinated the form that the clinet fill before done the job ( and he marked)(free on hiv) but who knows!!!!!!!!1
note( doing the tattoo the needle gun goes no so depth into the skin but is always blood coming out, blood that while doing the tattoo i keep cleaning with alcochol gaza. so eventually the needle get blood!!!!!!!!!!!
is this coud be a risk???????????
i am profetional tatto artist, first time this happend.

I have a tattoo, I know from experience how it works. The needle does not plunge deep enough into the skin to give a viable path to the bloodstream and again the amount of blood on the tip of the needle would not be enough to give a risk. There has never been 1 case of HIV transmission from tattooing. Also with the alcohol that you use anything that would get onto the needle would be deactivated.

is good to hear that, but smth u mus know, is that the needle is acutally cuting the sking and as an artist  i wanna say that needle get blood(this why we use always new needle for every single client) and i stucked into my skin,

No this would not be a risk...not deep penitration and not enough blood to pose a risk
