A member asked:
Is it dangerous to get a tattoo if you're a mrsa carrier but don't have an active infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
???Not really: As you are the one with the history of mrsa, so getting a tattoo should be fine. No one should get a tattoo after you with the same needle! if done correctly, and cleanly, by a certified tattoo artist you should be fine.
