A member asked:
Is it possible to get septic shock or a bad infection that leads to death from getting a tattoo?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: It is possible but uncommon. Getting a tattoo is not a good idea, it is a form of self mutilation. Depending on the technique, ink and sterile precautions, a number of disease have resulted from tattoos. Fashions change and you would want to be stuck with an unfashionable appearance.
