http://www.who.int/ "Hepatitis B prevalence is highest in the WHO Western Pacific Region and the WHO African Region, where 6.2% and 6.1% respectively of the adult population is infected. In the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region, the WHO South-East Asia Region and the WHO European Region, an estimated 3.3%, 2.0% and 1.6%% of the general population is infected, respectively. 0.7% of the population of the WHO Region of the Americas is infected... Infection in adulthood leads to chronic hepatitis in less than 5% of cases. The highest rates of chronic hepatitis B infection in the United States occur among foreign born individuals, especially people born in Asia, the Pacific Islands, and Africa. Over half of cases in the US are among people who were born outside of the United States. 80–90% of infants infected during the first year of life develop chronic infections; and 30–50% of children infected before the age of 6 years develop chronic infections. In adults: less than 5% of otherwise healthy persons who are infected as adults will develop chronic infection; and 20–30% of adults who are chronically infected will develop cirrhosis and/or liver cancer. Every year, approximately 3,000 people in the United States die from complications due to being infected. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4632424/ "One of the leading risk factors for death and disability in the United States is suboptimal diet quality, which in 2010 was associated with 678,000 annual deaths of all causes. " You are certainly much more likely to die from something that you eat rather than from getting inked…
Cant catch it twice But on a serious note its common knowledge these days that if your tattoo artist doesnt at the very least have an autoclave you need to run for the hills. Majority just use single use needles..
Ohhhh shoot the back was a bad experience for me Lucas good luck there buddy. Here is what mine finished as I need to do a shifter boot under the ball . I'm supposed to go back in April for a tattoo of the Firebird.
I've heard of having 2 left feet, but never 2 right's. Why do you only paint your left right foot nails? Very strange!
That looks baaaaaadddd, Joe. My artist had enough for the night haha...got to let the fleshtone set in over the old tribal before finishing anyway. Previous hack really laid the black in and attempted to fix it 3 times before I just gave up....$20 And 20 years ago haha....Backs not too bad for me, but there is one spot that makes my leg kick out every time it hits that nerve like I got my reflexes checked when we were kids....not conducive to the process, I'm sure....ribs were the worst. That Mach 1 tattoo we almost 7 hours of hell in one sitting. I told him to finish it that day because I wasn't getting back in that chair. This is his daughter doing this one.....here's where we're at as of now. Next opening was May 2nd so go back then, but I'm first on the cancellation list. Pretty stoked so far.....

If you haven't gotten one yet, be prepared to get at least two. You seriously can't stop at one. Think very carefully before you go in, it's going to be there forever. Getting cover ups sucks. I'm living it right now, luckily the one I'm covering up was small.
