A member asked:
Is there still can be any chances of getting hepatitis if i get my tattoo done from a clean place where they use new needle and ink? any other advices
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't get a tattoo: It makes it less likely that you would get hepatitis, but there is no real way to say for sure unless you see them using new sterile needles. Best way would be not to get a tattoo at all.
